Larkspur "New Zealand Giant White"
Larkspur "New Zealand Giant White" - Delphinium x cultorum.
New Zealand giants are recognized world trendsetters in delphinium breeding.
Exceptional decorative qualities, winter hardiness, durability and unpretentiousness have made these varieties the most desirable acquisition of many professionals and amateur gardeners: tall plants, more than 2 m, with strong healthy peduncles (but still need support).
Unusually large double flowers of an exquisite white shade, collected in a dense, literally stuffed inflorescence. The first flowering occurs in the second year after sowing, in June-July. Repeated - in August.
Delphiniums prefer sunny, wind-protected areas with fertile neutral soils and good drainage (does not tolerate waterlogging).
Seeds are germinated lightly sprinkled with sterile soil. To obtain friendly shoots, crops are recommended to be kept in the refrigerator for a week. They are protected from drafts and watered with caution (from a spray bottle). Shoots appear at a temperature not higher than +15°C in 10-15 days. Strengthened plants are planted in open ground in the spring after the end of frosts at a distance of 0.5-1.0 m. It is undesirable to plant plants close to high walls without support, since strong wind can break the stems. New Zealand giants are frost-resistant, they tolerate even severe winters without shelter.
