Description
The Fancy Purple Picotee larkspur or Delphinium displays tall elegant blooms on sturdy stems all summer long. Its predominantly white flowers are exquisitely brushed with lavender blue, over delicate soft-green foliage. This stunning new variety looks fabulous at the back of flower beds and is perfect for creating long-lasting bouquets. This easy-to-grow annual can be sown directly in flower beds or borders. In a sunny location with fertile, well-drained soil this delphinium will soon become a gorgeous addition to any garden.
Fancy Purple Picotee is one of the many hybrids derived from the Delphinium elatum species (that also gave birth to the famous "Pacific Giant" series). This hardy annual rapidly forms a 34 to 40 cm wide tuft. In summer, 1.20 m high flower spikes emerge over deeply-cut, light green palmate leaves. Flowers appear from June to September and are very popular with pollen-gathering insects. The simple flower cups are gathered on large erect spikes. They bear a row of white petals dappled with lavender blue, over a second row of deeper blue petals. The plant emerges from a woody rhizome that burrows vertically into the ground.
The delphinium's unmistakable silhouette always brings volume, verticality and charm to perennial plant beds. The ‘Fancy Purple Picotee’ cultivar is the perfect choice to quickly add cottage-like elegance to your garden. Plant it alongside moss or gallica roses, soft orange day lilies or 'Rosenschleier' baby's breath for even more charm and romance. This variety is brilliant for cut flowers as it's blooms are remarkably long-lasting.

Planting and care
Delphinium Fancy Purple Picotee seeds can be sown directly outside, from April to May, in full sunlight, in light, fertile, well drained and well loosened soil. Bury the fine seeds in small holes about 6 mm deep and 30 cm apart. Water regularly to keep the soil moist, especially during dry spells. Germination generally takes 14 to 21 days. When the seedlings are strong enough to handle, thin them out by only keeping one plant every 15 cm. For earlier flowering, sow the Delphinium seeds from August to October in 7.5 cm pots in moist, good quality soil. Place the pots in a cold frame or cover them with a plastic bag at a temperature of 15-20°C until they germinate. Once the seedlings are strong enough, move them to a cooler place. Overwinter the plants in a cool, bright, frost-free place and water them sparingly. Transplant them to their final location the following spring. Water regularly until the plants are fully established. When they reach about 10 cm in height, support them with sturdy bamboo canes or sticks. Deadhead regularly to encourage new blooms. Delphiniums like sunny locations, sheltered from strong winds, with fertile, well-amended and well-drained soil.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
