Delphinium is a beautiful flowering plant, and it is best to sow it when cultivating it. So, when are delphinium seeds sown?

Seed harvesting of delphinium

Before sowing delphinium, the seeds first need to be harvested. Generally, the fruits of delphinium mature during the period from August to September. The fruits contain seeds, which are relatively small.

After the delphinium fruits mature, the fruits will crack and the seeds are easy to scatter, so they need to be harvested in time. However, because delphinium blooms first and its fruits mature first, the seeds need to be harvested in batches.

The harvested seeds of delphinium need to be stored, usually dried and placed in a cool, dry place indoors.
