Is it any wonder?
I have not had huge amounts of luck with delphiniums yet.
I planted some last year and as they come up the following season I am hoping for a display this year, if not quite as wonderful as this one then at least half decent. Last year I had a few from the year before but they were a bit ragged and soon fell over. I planted them a bit too near the sweet peas and these were a little attention seeking and got their tendrils onto the delphiniums and pulled them to the ground. Won't make that mistake again.
The wonderful blues and purples here is something everyone must want to experience in their garden, surely?
My own great British garden revival would be Delphiniums.
Absolutely stunning :) that picture has brightened my day already

I love delphiniums but have not had much luck with them. Some due to the slugs, but in a garden covered with gravel I usually forget to feed them! Beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteLove delphiniums! great picture, if only.........xxx
ReplyDeleteI've never had any luck with them although I really would love to have them in my garden - it's usually slugs that demolish them for me.

I have planted some last yr in a large tub quite small but hoping for a good show this summer . Going to plant trailing sweetpeas around the edges of the tub , fingers crossed !
ReplyDeleteI love delphiniums - trouble is, so do the slugs. My delphiniums survived last year so I'm hoping that they will this year as well. Lovely picture.
ReplyDeleteOh how I wish, gourmet meal for slugs and snails here I am sorry to say.
ReplyDeleteI planted some last year and to protect them from slugs I put down some wood ash however I used a bit too much ash. The rain transformed it into a paste which choked the delphinium. I will have to try again this year.
ReplyDeletePlant then in between stronger plants that support them
DeleteWow, so pretty!!! That inspires me too!
ReplyDeleteGood Lord I would love to have that garden in the picture. One day I shall attempt such beauty.
