Description

From T&M's own breeding comes this amazing dwarf delphinium. Pure white, tightly packed, short spikes, held well above deep green foliage, on dwarf, compact plants. Being early flowering, makes this ideal for planting in the front of a border or in containers.

Height: 30-38cm (12-15in)

Sowing Instructions

Sowing Time: February to June or September to October. Sow seed on the surface of lightly firmed, moist seed compost in pots or trays. Cover with a fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Keep at a temperature of between 10-15C (50-59F). After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination. Keep the surface of the compost moist but not waterlogged; germination can take 1-3 months.

Growing Instructions

When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings into 7.5cm (3in) pots or trays. Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, 60cm (24in) apart. For best results, provide a sunny, sheltered site and a deep, fertile, well-drained soil.

Caution

Harmful if eaten
