Re: heat zones, delphinium, etc.

Hello Terry,
    Well... my perfect delphinium would be a shade lover, tolerant of hot
and dry summers. Summer bloomer. Dwarf... no more than two feet. Strong
stems, branching only on secondary blooming cycles. Contrasting bees, blooms
evenly spaced and not touching each other on the stem. Either exceptional
large singe, or semi-double bloom forms. Deep, metallic, blue in color.
    When will you be able to ship the seeds?
