Delphinium 'Candle Violet Shades'

Good Qualities

Good clear violet color (4); Large individual flowers (2); Very pretty; Great stem length; Seeded in February for June bloom; Fast, stems, uniform; Good in the wind.

Problems

Not as good as germination as ‘Candle Lavender’; Sheds petals, stalks thinner, more gaps between blooms on the stalk; Not very productive compared to ‘Guardian’ and ‘Pacific Giants’; I’m not sure that I could see the difference between Lavender and Violet; Root disease wiped out this variety by early September in field and tunnel.

Postharvest

See separate postharvest report in this issue for results from NC State University postharvest evaluations.

Comments

‘Candle Lavender’ and ‘Candle Violet’, could not tell difference in color?; Seeded in flats on 1/25/05 gave 2 weeks cold treatment – first harvest interval 7/4 – 7/13, then second harvest 9/15 – 10/20; First bloom August 21 (Zone 2), these look promising for BIG color on a medium length stem; General comments on trial (Zone 5): Plants were transplanted unto shallow beds covered with plastic mulch and with trickle irrigation, there were 2 replications in a high tunnel, and 2 outside, plants were arranged in a 12 x 12 inch spacing in 3 rows on each bed, plant death due to root disease was the dominant feature of this trial, with the exception of the Bellamosum types, all other varieties were essentially dead by early September. The unusually warm growing season may have contributed to this mortality.
