Delphinium Elatum - Eastern Connecticut - Novice gardener?
Hi, I'm a newbie gardener living in Eastern Connecticut. I have these delphinium or larkspurs (whichever, the tag says larkspur, delphinium elatum). Anyway, the seed pods ripened. I shook a few right onto the garden, but wasn't sure so I collected the seeds on cloth. I don't know if I can just sow them directly back in the garden or if I need to freeze these for 2 days then sow them? It's July and I wonder if I should wait until Spring or I can sow them now?? I looked through websites some say to wait until Spring some say I can sow them through Sept...and I didn't get much help but only confusion.
Answer:
Delphiniums are not the easiest flowers to grow, but the extra work is worth the effort.
Store the seeds in a cool dry place and plant in individual containers in Spring. Set them in a window or greenhouse to grow. Plant them in rich soil. I had good luck with pig manure. It stinks really bad, but if you let it sit for 2 years the stench is almost undetectable. Cow manure works really well too and doesn't smell nearly as bad.
Foxgloves go really well with delphiniums by the way.
