Dwarf Delphiniums
Hi can anyone help me on how to grow Delphiniums from seed I have tried to grow dwarf variety out of 60 seeds I managed to get 8 to germinate and grow on I have read on the net that they will grow in any compost and some say to cover seeds and some say not to this was my first season and I managed to grow Lupins red hot pokers but my wife has seen delphinium summer night's and would like them for the front garden border for next year I am not 2 confident about starting them from seed due to my poor first attempt i grew the last ones in an unheated green house and in Westland peat based compost i sowed them at the correct time but did not have much success should i get a heated propagator and start them off in that in Febuary ????

Wills - i grow delphiniums from seed - start off in a windowsill propagator in Feb, pot on to pots in unheated GH in April, and then keep them growing in pots for the whole of their first year (mostly so i can keep an eye on them), and plant out in following spring. Here is one of my babies in its third year ....
So worth persevering
Whoops...wrong fred posting.
