Giant Larkspur Qis White Seeds - Annual Delphinium

Giant Larskpur 'Qis White' is an exquisite, very floriferous selection that features handsome spires of double, slightly ruffled pure white blooms over feathery green foliage. Sturdy stems, ideal for cutting! Annual delphiniums are hardy, easy-to-grow plants. The tall flower spikes stand out at the back of summer beds and borders, gorgeous in front of lower-growing perennials. Direct sow in spring in rich, cool soil, in a sunny, sheltered position.

Delphinium 'Qis White' is one of the many hybrids selected from Field Larkspur (D. consolida), a winter-germinating annual that occurs naturally in sandy or chalky cornfields. Annual delphiniums are hardy, fast-growing plants that form a wide 35-40 cm clump. The leaves are palmately divided or lobed, soft green in colour, topped with 120 cm tall, very sturdy floral stems in summer. From June to September, slightly ruffled, pure white double blooms appear, densely gathered on tall, erect spires. They are a magnet to foraging insects.

The characteristic silhouette of Delphiniums always brings an elegant fullness, verticality and charm to perennial beds. For a romantic touch, combine them with old roses and Baby's Breath. The long-lasting blooms are particularly suitable for cutting. For dried flower arrangements, hang small bouquets upside down in a dry, well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight.
