LARKSPUR
Larkspur are poisonous hardy annual Delphinium Hybrids. Flowers are
1" across, arranged on a long spike measuring 8 - 24" in length. There
are also branching types with several flower spikes on one plant. Stems
could be as long as 100 cm. Flowers are available in a variety of different
colours. Larkspur is ethylene sensitive and shatters very easily. Foliage
turns yellow. Other defects are disease spots on petals and stems.
Care and Handling:
- Unpack as soon as possible to prevent wilting and accumulation of
Ethylene gas.
- Cut off 5 cm of stem, using stem cutters, a sharp knife or scissors.
Place the flowers in warm water with flower food. Put flower buckets
in
- cooler with relative humidity of 90 - 95%.
- Loosen bunches in buckets for better circulation. Remove damaged flowers
or leaves. Replenish Chrysal solution every day or two as needed.
