I had no problem, start cool like normal delphinium. I don't find
delphinium to be particularly finicky so I can't answer that part.
Impact on the border - negligible in our borders. The florets were well
spaced out - don't look for a typical spike delphinium on this flower. I
don't stake any of my plants as I don't overfeed so plants seldom require
staking. If they do, they get placed next to other plants that will hold
them up.:-) And remember,this is only a 60cm plant (24" give or take)

 What garden conditions does it like?  Is it as finicky as the
