Description

Larskpur 'Centurion Lilac Blue Bicolour F1' is an excellent selection that is especially easy to grow from seed. It features tall spires of double blooms in soft shades of lilac and blue, with a small, white central collarette. The handsome flower spikes look gorgeous at the back of summer beds and borders, in front of lower-growing perennials. Also suitable for growing in large containers! Direct sow in spring in rich, cool soil, in a sunny, sheltered position.

Delphinium 'Centurion Lilac Blue Bicolour F1' is a hybrid cultivar, selected from Delphinium elatum (known as alpine delphinium or candle larkspur). This short-lived perennial forms 50 cm wide clumps. The leaves are palmately divided or lobed, soft green in colour, topped with sturdy floral stems in summer that grow to 1.20 m tall or more. From June to September, cup-shaped blooms appear, displaying three layers of petals in delicate shades of blue and lilac, surrounding a small white collarette. They are gathered on tall, erect spires and are a magnet to foraging insects.

The characteristic silhouette of Delphiniums always brings an elegant fullness, verticality and charm to perennial beds. For a romantic touch, combine them with old roses and Baby's Breath. The long-lasting blooms are particularly suitable for cutting. For dried flower arrangements, hang small bouquets upside down in a dry, well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight. This selection is also suitable for growing in large pots and containers.

Planting and care

Sow Delphiniums from February to June in a good quality, well-draining soil, and lightly cover the seeds with a pinch of compost or vermiculite. Place the seed tray in a mini-greenhouse at a temperature of 10-13°C, or seal it in a transparent polyethylene bag and keep it in a dark place until germination, which takes 1 to 3 months. Keep the compost moist but not wet.

When the seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into 8cm pots and move the Delphinium plants to cooler conditions. Once all risk of frost has passed, gradually acclimate the young plants to outdoor conditions for 7 to 10 days before planting them in the ground. Plant Delphiniums at a distance of 45cm in moist, fertile, well-worked, and well-drained soil. Delphiniums dislike stagnant moisture. Choose a sunny location sheltered from strong winds. Protect young Delphiniums from attacks by slugs and snails.
