Beautiful Delphinium: Planting and Care
Many horticulturalists grow a spur on their flower beds. But this name is not so well known among fans of this flower, like the Delphinium. The second name is more beautiful and poetic, probably, that's why it is used more often. The result of a long crossing of different species of this plant was the appearance of the cultivated delphinium variety. Planting and care are simple, but the process of growing it requires thoroughness. Flowers of this plant with a diameter of 3 to 5 centimeters can be blue, blue, violet, white, pink and red. Connoisseurs know that they are simple or terry, with an eye or speck, with a spur and without it.
For sowing this plant, it is best to use soil consisting of chernozem, humus and sand, if there is an opportunity to get peat, then it should be used instead of the first component. To make the landing evenly, you need to pour a thin layer of river sand onto the surface of the earth and spread the seeds on top of it. On such a yellow background they will be clearly visible. Planting is carried out in moist soil. To ensure better germination, it is necessary to have no more than two seeds per 1 square centimeter. It is believed that in the process of germination they release into the soil a special substance that stimulates the emergence of neighboring achenes, which is why they are not planted too far apart.
After the appearance of sprouts, you must strictly adhere to the rules of watering this plant.
