<<My delphinium 'Dark Knight' (ca. five years old) has sixteen stems; I saw a
lavender delphinium up here in the north country with too many stems to
count, but sixteen is the most for me so far. I grow white, lavender, and
purple dels. I have a bright royal blue with white bees that I'm trying to
ignore till I decide what to do with it. It's a total color mistake in my
garden but you just don't throw out a large established delphinium. Maybe
over at the end of the meadow... or maybe down the road...>>
Wow, Alyce, I'm so jealous, writing from my zone 6, 90 degree garden. Wish I
could see your delphiniums because I've never had any that good down here.
Royal blue with a white bee would be perfect in my garden! (to go with the
orange zinnias and purple verbena) We saw such great delphiniums in Sweden -
they were as tall as me before the flower spikes came out, and about that wide
with too many stems to count. Somebody invent some like that that will grow
here!
