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.

Delphinium is used for landscape design in arrays and groups, as well as for single landings near summer terraces and arbors. He is very popular in drawing up bouquets, as it gives an excellent cut. The main problem of this plant, according to seasoned florists, is considered to be poor germination, but this fact was refuted by the experience set in the US. Its purpose was to establish the maximum possible period of storage of seeds. Their control sample was placed in sealed vessels and stored at a temperature of 15 degrees below zero. It was found that even after 16 years, she did not lose perfect germination. Thus, the main thing is the proper storage of the flower seeds of the delphinium, planting and care - already the next stages of the process.

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. You can not direct the stream of water directly onto the shoots, because once they fall to the ground, they no longer rise and die. Very moderate watering - this is one of the main characteristics of the flower delphinium. Planting and caring for such plants is not easy.
