GROWER TIPS
• The Delphinium Delgenius program at PP&L is offered in a 72 cell size from tissue culture. Due to their fast and strong growth, we recommend larger pot sizes between 1.5-gallon and 3-gallon, only 1 liner per pot is needed. • Delgenius need a higher phosphorus rate compared to most perennials, phosphorus is important for producing side shoots and more blooms.The best ratio of P to K for growing Delgenius is 1:2 to 1:2.5. • Delgenius should be grown at a pH between 5.4-5.5 and never above 6.0.A high pH will make phosphorus less available meaning less side shoots and production of a single bloom vs the multiple blooms Delgenius is capable of.
• It takes approximately 10-16 weeks to get a finished plant after spring planting, depending on climate and pot size.The best spring planting time is April-May for summer flowering. Liners can also be planted August-October and overwintered for an early spring flowering crop. • Delgenius are heavy feeders, use a liquid feed on top of a slow-release fertilizer. EC levels should be kept at 1.5, it is important to keep a watch on the fertilizer level in the soil when the flower stems and buds start to appear. If levels are lower than 1.5, plants need additional fertilizer at that point.
• Delgenius are fast-growing plants, therefore they need spacing for the best quality finish. Plants can be spaced after planting to their final spacing or wait till buds start to appear but no later. • If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us, preferably with pictures so we can better help you grow the best crop possible.
