Trial: Annual

Year Trialed: 2004
Year of Trial: First (from 2004 report)

Good Qualities

Great color (7); Really long stems; Annual larkspur with excellent results; Tight floret, strong branching; Same growing habit as rest of series; In the tunnel, if main stem cut high, lower branches long enough to be useful in subsequent harvests; Strength; Did well, comparable to other larkspur varieties, consolida does better in our climate if planted in fall, Zone 6/7; Vigorous.

Problems

Low germination.(3); More susceptible to fungus, rots, diseases and plagues than any of my other larkspurs; Needed to be very well hydrated when cutting or flopped; Didn’t grow great in summer heat and drought, imagine that!; Poor emergence in the tunnel when direct-seeded in bed, slow growing-harvest not possible until mid-July, lasted only for a month (Zone 5); Needed netting.

Postharvest

Water only, held in cooler.

Comments

Similar to QIS Lilac, but Sydney Lilac is a richer color; Best larkspur we have ever grown; I have never had good success with Delphinium consolida.
