This guy's after my heart ❤❤❤
Hello, I got delphinium seeds germinated in a jiffy starter kit under grow light. I did the moist towel method in the fridge for 4 weeks. None of them sprouted on the towel but quickly germinated once sowed. When should I remove the humidity dome? Thanks
Breathtaking!
So helpful, just received my flowers in the UK! Thank you. I'm going t try and winter sow some and do some indoors as suggested.
I just found you and I am going to order.....This was a wonderful presentation. I will be doing this with my plants also.
Wonderful!
Wow Lovely Flowers ^^ Like 190 My friend, thank you for good sharing Have a good relationship
Does anyone have any idea how much you feed the seedlings w/ fertilizer at these early stages?
It depends what you are sowing them in. Most seed raising mixes have a slow release fertiliser in them already - and if so, you don't need to feed them (just water). If you are sowing in the ground, or in mix that has no fertiliser, then feed them half strength fertiliser while they are little and gradually increase the dose as they grow.
Loves flowers.. colour whhhaoooo woow

Nothing more Gorgeous than Delphiniums!! Beautiful! Good video thank you!
Hi again from Qld Australia I live in the subtropics and was wondering if my delphinium seeds should be cold stratified on a damp surface in the fridge to help with germination? It is mid April here and our temperatures are still between 24-27 C day time, and 14-18 C night time. I need to grow them on during our cooler months so that the humidity is lower so I am eager to get the seeds germinated. What do you suggest? Really appreciate your help. Thank you
The seeds have already spent a period in the 'cold' at our nursery before sale, so they should germinate on contact with water. However, the seedlings may struggle a bit in the heat - I would put them in a lightly shaded spot. We find they don't make fast seedling growth at temperatures over 25C, but the germination is pretty much automatic from the initiation of water to the seed itself.
Thank you. I am just wondering if after you cut off the top, if you then transplanted the plant and planted it deeper. Thanks.
No, just plant it at the same level as previously
@@dowdeswellsdelphiniums3868 Thank you!
Thanks for the detail on this. I guess for me it is necessary to sacrifice the height in the first year for more blooms. Important for gardener's to know that this only applies to first year flowering as in the second and following years the plant should produce a number of leaders.
Do you need to cold stratify delphinium seeds?
i live in zone 3 in canada. planted seeds i ordered from you a couple years ago. started seeds indoors under lights and winter sowing. both methods sprouted, however, indoor started in march produced best seedlings. the plants bloomed first season. as i live by the lake where there is a lot of wind, i really like these shorter plants and their sturdiness last summer we suffered climate collapse record flooding, destroyed my 12 raised beds and 1000's of flowers i had established in the meadow along the lake. thanks for this video, makes complete sense, excellent presentation. ordered the pumice so i have it on hand when ready to start the rest of the seeds from you.
Thanks so much for sharing, and the feedback and so sorry to hear of the loss due to flooding. Good luck with your next sowing.
Thank you for the instructions! Did you use stratification after planting the seeds? in some literature it is written that it is necessary
For our delphiniums you don't need to stratify. We do that as part of our preparation for sale of the seed - it is cold stored prior to sale
Left overs 🤑
Thank you great tips
can we use any US brand fine pumice to substitute for Dalton's?
yes, any brand fine pumice should be ok
@@dowdeswellsdelphiniums3868 Thank you for the reply. I cannot find fine pumice here in the US; most is 1/8". Can I use vermiculite as a substitution? Thank you.
I found fine pumice on Amazon.
I absolutely love to watch this video , and again feeling tempted of growing Delphinium for next year .
I did as you advised and sure enough got three new growth and three stems of flowers
Fantastic presentation and perfect timing! Love how you compare and show to explain.
Beautiful garden keep safe everyone
pamas? what is this? 😍
Well done Terry & Katrina! A little bird brought my first Delphinium to my garden and I grew the seed on and have had a marvellous display for many years. Lately my garden has made way for my new passion, Paeonies, so I only have a few Delphiniums but would love to try yours. We now have a spring Paeony show here in Christchurch, perhaps you would enjoy that. Cheers, Michele
Thank you I’m gonna try this today- my delphiniums reseeded all over the place and some are growing fast in front of other flowers and blocking their sun. 🤞🏼🤞🏼
Thank you for your informative video! I live in Australia. Now I know why my delphiniums seedlings keep dying. I went to have look inside the moist soil that my one large seedling 🌱 was in, only to find a few fungus gnats flying out! 😩 Can wisterias be grown without a strong support?
No, they usually always need a support. I did see one "tree" trained by bringing 3 separate vines together and weaving them into a a trunk. It still needed support for some years to get woody enough to support itself. It was incredible seeing the flowers hang down under a tree-like canopy.
@@Grrrnthumb Thank you so much
Great video!! Do you ship your delphiniums to the United States?
Yes, they do. It takes a while to get them, but worth the wait. Mine got popped into the frig right away until I get the pumice from Amazon.
@@evelynbishop9382 What brand of pumice did your order from Amazon?
@@bellarosa009 I do not recall a brand. It was just in a bag.
@@evelynbishop9382 No worries. Thanks.
Bu çiçekler Muhteşem nasıl alabilirim lütfenn
Excellent information
Я заказала у Вас семена,перевела денег,но ничего не получила,почему?
Love delphiniums....so do the slugs...the devils.
Thanks so much
What an eye opener! Will be chopping the heads off! Thanks for sharing your expertise!
I would be the happiest person working in a nursery 😍
What an awesome place to be!! Have fun for me!
Thank you for the great video! Do you recommend starting the seeds inside or outside once you have tucked them in the container with the newspaper and pumice? Thanks.
thank you for your informative videos on growing new zealand delphiniums! delphiniums are my favorite flower. i had never heard of the new zealand's. i just ordered seeds from you and i can't wait to use your expertise in growing new zealand delphiniums! i heard you on my favorite podcast "sustainable flowers" with heather and clara!
Lovely. Thanks. We made our first order of seed for Pink Blush (for a notably designed private garden) which is a soft shade that is hard to find here now in the US market. Hoping all goes well with raising from seed in the greenhouse.
Thank you for this video with such beautiful delphinium. l love watching, planting and painting delphinium flowers. 🌷💗
Thank you! After several tries the last two years, I have successfully germinated delphinia!!!!
After a prong has bloomed, i can chop it off and it will help right ?
Can you reuse the seeds that grow from the top?
Yes, most delphiniums and the (annual) Larkspurs make seeds as the flowers wither and ripen. -But, then the energy of the plant goes into seed production. ( Unless the experts say otherwise, I believe that your remaining flower stalks will grow and look better, if you cut the old stalk down, instead of letting it make seeds)
My delphinium as green worms what to do about them
I am growing delphiniums for the first time this year and these videos are *so* helpful--thank you from the US!
Love your newspaper trick, I will try it
Great well presented brilliant advice

Thank you that was helpful!
Hi , great video I love those squarish pots, where can I get them ?
