Growing on
4-6 weeks after sowing transplant 1 plant into a pot 8-10 cm (3-4’’) and 4-6 weeks later transplant into a container 5-10 l (1,5-2,5 gallon). For flowering pot production ensure good pot size, to encourage root growth, thus improving plant quality. Plant cut flowers in 25 x 25 cm (10 x 10’’) space (annual production) or 50 x 50 cm (20 x 20’’) (perennial production). Strain wires alongside the plants for the spikes.
Media
Use a well-drained, growing substrate with 10-30 % clay, 0-15 % parts (e.g. bark, sand, perlite), 1-2 kg /m³, complete balanced fertilizer. 2-4 kg/m³ slow release fertilizer (3-9 months), iron-chelate, micronutrients, pH 5.5-6.5. Field: well-drained, moderate nutrition supply, humus, loamy soils. Standard fertilization: 60-80 g/m² slow release fertilizer (potassium balanced). Do not improve the soil with peat. Keep the soil open.
Temperature
Grow at 15-18 °C (59-64,5 °F) or outdoors. In winter indoors frost free at 3-5 °C (37,5-41 °F) or outdoors. Outdoor fleece cover and dry substrate needed. In spring the plants start to grow for 10-12 weeks at 15-18 °C (59-64,5 °F). A chilling period for flower initiation is not required.
Fertilization
High fertilization levels are required. Fertilize the crop weekly with 100-150 ppm nitrogen (at 2 kg/m³ slow release fertilizer in substrate), using a complete balanced fertilizer. Avoid high ammonium and high nitrogen levels. Don't fertilize after flowering or after early September. In spring fertilize with 100-150 ppm nitrogen using a complete balanced fertilizer. Prevent magnesium deficiency by applying magnesium sulphate (0,05 %) 1-2 times and in case of Iron deficiency apply iron-chelate for 1-2 times. The fertilization with slow release fertilizer is preferred to fertilization with complete balanced fertilizer, because the roots are very sensitive to high salt levels in substrates. Avoid high fertilizer concentrations, it is advisable to fertilize several times with low concentrations weekly. Field: After harvest fertilize the plant additionally with 60-80 g/m² of a slow release and potassium balanced fertilizer. Don't fertilize after flowering.

Reviews for "Delphinium Magic Fountain Lilac Pink with White Bee: A Dazzling Addition to Any Landscape"
1. John - 2 stars - I purchased these Delphinium Magic Fountain Lilac Pink with White Bee seeds with high hopes, but I was quite disappointed with the results. Despite following the planting instructions carefully, only a few of the seeds sprouted and the plants that did grow were weak and frail. The flowers themselves were also not as vibrant and beautiful as I had expected. Overall, I wouldn't recommend these seeds to other gardeners.
2. Sarah - 1 star - I was really excited to add some Delphiniums to my garden, but unfortunately, these seeds did not live up to my expectations. The germination rate was extremely low, with only a couple of seeds sprouting after weeks of waiting. Additionally, even the plants that did grow did not produce the promised lilac pink flowers with white bees. Instead, I got a mishmash of pale pink and white flowers that lacked the desired vibrancy. I was left feeling disappointed and regretful of my purchase.
3. Michael - 2 stars - As an experienced gardener, I expected better results from these Delphinium Magic Fountain Lilac Pink with White Bee seeds. Unfortunately, the germination rate was quite low, and the plants that did grow were weak and prone to diseases. I had to put in a lot of effort to nurse them back to health, and even then, the flowers were not as impressive as I had hoped. I would not recommend these seeds to fellow gardeners unless improvements are made to their quality and reliability.
