Delphiniums

Post by mooie »

How come delphiniums are so dang hard to find??? You'd think such a standard in the garden would be more readily available, but I haven't been able to find the dark blue/purple ones I love! :(

Hmmm... Up here, they're very easy to find. I got a dark blue one just a week ago!

There is plenty out here in the PNW! My deep blue didn't set seeds but I have a pretty lavender one that is just setting seeds.

Okay, will just dump the seeds, one can never have to many, right?
