Growing Perennials from Seed 
Perennials are easy to grow from seed. Delphiniums are one of the easiest 
among plants . . . and it’s fun. 
Fill a deep box or make a bed outside of screened leaf mold and clean 
medium sand, or sand and peat moss, mixed together. Level and water down 
and next day, sow the seeds, either in rows or broadcast. Rows seem best, but 
thickly, for delphinium seeds germinate much better when thickly sown. 
Cover not more than one-eighth of an inch with sand. If the frame or bed 
is in the sun it may be necessary to cover the seeds with paper or burlap until 
germination begins. Seeds require moisture to germinate and grow, but must 
not be sopping wet. This can be avoided by using good drainage in bed 
preparation. 
Other perennials listed on this folder may be treated in the same manner 
and in the same bed. More complete directions are printed on the seed 
packets.
