DELPHINIUM SPECIES 
HYBRIDS 
“WEST O’ THE ROCKIES” STRAIN 
Cultural Suggestions: 
Culture of these Hybrids differ little from that of the or- 
dinary Garden Delphinium. 
In this area, we prefer sowing the seed of these Hybrids as 
early as possible in the Summer. We sow in shaded and protect- 
ed frames using a good friable soil, placing the seed in shallow 
drills, and covering it with fine sand. Moisture is provided as 
needed. When seedlings are well up shading may be reduced. 
At advent of rainy or cold weather, frames may be banked with 
earth, and covered with glass, giving ventilation as needed. 
Young plants may be planted to permanent locations after the 
first bloom season. Sunny or semi-shaded garden positions for 
these plants is preferable. ..After-flowering domancy should be 
encouraged and Winter protection given. Methods of culture 
should be judiciously varied according to region in which seed 
is planted. 
It is often wise to try several methods of culture; using 
evenly divided portions of seed lots for each method.
