INTRODUCING
DELGENIUS,
a PP&L EXCLUSIVE
From the Hellebore Frostkiss®
and Echibeckia Summerina®
breeder comes a brand new series,
Delphinium DELGENIUS™. This
series is the result of over 10 years
of breeding, working to come up
with a super hybrid that would solve
all the problems growers have with
Delphinium currently on the market.
The blood lines crossed to
create the DELGENIUS series
bring enormous hardiness, heat
tolerance and strong flower stems
to Delphinium. These will easily fill
large pots with only one liner and
produce a multi-branching habit in
a short amount of time. Not only
are DELGENIUS pot-filling, but they
also require no vernalization so crops
can be potted in the fall or spring.

VARIETIES
EXPOSURE
Delgenius grow best outdoors in full sun.
In addition, gone are the days of
only single flower spike. The flower
power of this plant is huge, having
multiple, semi-double blooms
with rebloom. There is no need to
use PGRs on these either, as they
are genetically bushy and do not
send up single tall spikes like other
varieties. This helps growers save on
the costs of application and labor.

TEMPERATURE
Delgenius are very tough plants and selected for
their hardiness and heat tolerance. They
are hardy to USDA Zone 3 and can stand
temperatures over 104ºF/40ºC. Young plants
are produced from tissue culture and cannot
stand frost or night frost. Therefore, a later
planting in spring is advised. Early planting in a
greenhouse is possible but as soon as the plant
starts growing they need to go outside,
otherwise they will stretch and become too tall.
PINCHING & PGRs:
Delgenius will make side shoots
naturally, so pinching is not
necessary and not needed after
planting. Plants can be pinched
once flowering if crop delay is
needed. No PGR is needed for
DELGENIUS nor is suggested.
DELGENIUS are naturally bushy
and multi-branching and tend
to be more compact early in
production compared to other
varieties on the market.

PLANTING:
Use a very open, well-drained
soil with a pH of 5.4-5.5.
FERTILIZING:
The best ratio between P and K
is between 1:2 - 1:2.5. This requires
a liquid feeding on top of the base
slow release fertilizer (which is mostly
P:K 1:3 or 1:4) of 20-20-20 or 2715-12
with microelements. pH is
very important for DELGENIUS, a
high pH or wrong balance between
P and K can cause a low flower
stem count, keep pH between
5.4-5.5 and never go above 6.
