Trial: Annual

Year Trialed: 2006

Good Qualities

Great color (3); Plants are vigorous, largest of those in our trial, colour looks usable – medium true purple, plant is too immature to harvest full stems- this is our fault for not planting early enough; Very pretty; Delphiniums are so great and a top seller; Strong plants; Beautiful full flower stems; Grew great for us in the greenhouse, we harvested the main stem and then had side shoots that were very nice too – sold every stem.

Problems

Poor germination (2); I have powdery mildew problems with delphinium, so if I get one cut per plant I’m happy, wasn’t really impressed with the color, but I’d grow again; For us it’s a more productive plant in its second season; transplanted about 20 plants to the field and they did not thrive: 11 plants did survive, a couple put on late spikes, these plants may come back nicer in the spring.

Similar Cultivars

Centurion and Guardian series.

Postharvest

All of my delphinium are STS-treated to prevent shattering.

Comments

The center, initial flower spike is almost too large to be used in anything but a gigantic arrangement so we prefer the smaller side branches; Planted in 200 cell tray on 2/13 and put in cooler for two weeks; – My customers went crazy for this, plus we were picking it into July- which was hot, we had 50% shade on the greenhouse.
