Delphinium, larkspur, larkspur – all this is about one unpretentious, but very beautiful plant.

The flower can often be found in the gardens of passionate summer residents who value beauty and harmony around them.

Experienced gardeners recommend planting delphinium with seeds rather than cuttings. The advantage of this method is that it reduces the risk of damaging the rhizome.

But before planting, the seeds need to be properly processed. Only after this will the delphinium delight you with lush flowering.

How to prepare seeds

The planting material is kept in the refrigerator before sowing. The seeds must be disinfected immediately before being sent to the ground.

For this purpose, the planting material is placed in a gauze bag for 20 minutes and dipped in a strong solution of potassium permanganate.

There are two options. You can wash the seeds and sow. In the second case, wash off the potassium permanganate solution and then place them in a growth stimulator.

Then the seeds are laid out on paper, dried and the delphinium is sown.
