I've been trying to grow delphiniums from seed in my garden for a few years, now. They usually get eaten by slugs before they make it into their second year. With a little help from sluggo, I finally have 6 delphiniums in their second year in the garden! The seed were wintersown in the early spring of 2010, and the little guys were then transplanted into the bed later that spring. And a bunch of them actually survived. Here's one. It's Delphinium x cultorum Centurion Lilac Blue Bicolor F1 Hybrid. Of all the varieties I sowed (6 varieties). This is the one giving me the best flowers in it's second year. I'm so happy. These pics are from this morning after a major storm, so they are wet, but I wanted to share before I ran out of time to snap a picture.
