Here are five short germination tips for Delphinium elatum seeds:
- Cold Stratification – Store seeds in a moist paper towel inside a plastic bag in the refrigerator (2–5°C) for 2–4 weeks before sowing.
- Sowing Depth – Sow seeds lightly covered (about 3 mm deep) in well-draining, moist soil.
- Moisture & Temperature – Keep the soil moist but not soggy, and maintain a cool temperature of 10–15°C for better germination.
- Light Conditions – Germination occurs best in darkness, so cover the seeds with soil or a light-blocking material.
- Patience & Ventilation – Germination can take 2–6 weeks, so be patient and ensure good airflow to prevent mold.
