DelphiniumMagic Fountain Mix Seeds - Perennial Larkspur
Delphinium x elatum Magic Fountain Mix
Candle Larkspur, Tall Larkspur, Perennial Larkspur
Disappointed, out of 48 seeds sown, not a single one germinated despite following the instructions to the letter. I started a second batch 1.5 months later with an equally dismal result.

Description
Larskpur Magic Fountain Mix is a superb dwarf selection that features candle-like spires in a wide range of complementary colours. Sturdy stems, ideal for cutting! Annual delphiniums are hardy, easy-to-grow plants. The tall flower spikes look gorgeous in 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 Magic Fountain Mix is one of the many hybrids selected from Delphinium elatum, known as alpine delphinium or candle larkspur. This dwarf Pacific-type selection is a short-lived perennial that forms a 35-40 cm (13.8-15.8 in) wide clump. The leaves are palmately divided or lobed, soft green in colour, topped with 80 cm (31.5 in) tall, very sturdy floral stems in summer. From June to September, simple cup-shaped blooms appear, gathered on erect, wind-resistant spires. They display a wide array of harmonious blue, pink, purple and white shades and are a magnet for 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 dwarf selection is also suitable for growing in large pots and containers.

Planting and care
Sow Delphinium Magic Fountain Mix from February to June in a good-quality, well-draining soil, and lightly cover the seeds with a fine sprinkle of compost or vermiculite. Place the seed tray in a mini-greenhouse at a temperature of 10-13 °C (50-55.4 °F), 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 8 cm (3.1 in) pots and move the Delphinium plants to cooler conditions. Once all risk of frost has passed, gradually acclimatise the young plants to outdoor conditions for 7 to 10 days before planting them outside in the ground. Plant the Delphiniums at a distance of 45 cm (17.7 in) 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.

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.
