Whoa! sorry for missing so much. There are some fabulous photos you have posted there. It's just great to see them grown so well.

Piri: I would expect Royal Aspirations to at least match Dark Blue Magic Fountains for longivity so I'm surprised that it your experience it did not. Then again warm, humid weather will reduce their lifespan.

sm4657: Yes, winter sowing delphiniums works well. I know quite a few of our customers winter sow. I wish I could - but our winters are far too warm and the seedlings would either damp off or be eaten by slugs and snails.

There are free packets of seed available to all participants so far so if you haven't mailed me your address please do so now. Dmail is ok. I'll close the offer on this thread now though :-)

Cheers

Terry
