Classic cottage garden plant. Needs staking. Can be high maintenance. Will see how year two goes. Needs staking and protection from slugs. Needs fertile soil, fertilization, and good drainage. Cultivar includes 'Emerald Pacific Mix" Winter Sown in 2022.

This plant is doing very well in a large pot, two blooms from it in 2022. Plan to take cuttings in 2023.

Planted out "Emerald Pacific Mix" Delphiniums in June 2022 somewhere in the new south facing border. (May have gotten swallowed up in roses and other plants. Also winter sowed a 2nd batch this January, noted in plant events.
