The annual Larkspur varieties do not require as much effort for germination as a true Delphinium
but cold stratification growing tips are included.

and likes full sun to partial shade. To maximise germination, cold treated (stratified)
seeds do best prior to sowing. Place sealed seed packet in refrigerator or cold room for 7 to 14 days.
When sowing, average temperatures of 12C is best.
Surface sow from February to June on fine, free draining compost &
very lightly covered with a fine sprinkling of compost.
Slower to germinate 15 to 30 days
Transfer when large enough to handle into pots & acclimatize to outdoors
until after all risk of frost has passed.
Maturity 130 days
