Delphinums

Bought some new ones this year, all looking good. New supports bought this year were useless, obviously wrong choice by me, so will have to get some more!

You are going to have a nice display there..I know what you mean about the canes etc..every year I've made do with canes and garden twine,and they didn't support them well at all..I finally splashed out this year,and bought two of the tallest circular plant supports I could find..quite expensive,but they are almost to the tops already !..Are yours different colours? Mine are white..pot luck from seed..sadly,no room for anymore...post a pic please,when they flower,as I would love to see them.. :o)

Yes Sandra, think I've got two the same, but the new ones are Magic Fountain Lavender,King Arthur(looks a deep purple)Excalibur White, and Excalibur Light Blue with White Bee and Blue Jay, hoping I can keep the snails at bay. Will post pics as soon as they flower, got to get some supports that will hold them all as they are quite close together, will perhaps try and do something with canes, try and make a cage of some sort,I saw the ones you got, I'd need about 6 or 7 if I got those, but they do look good in them.

That sounds a good selection of colours,Val.it will be an impressive display..I think some sort of cage would be ideal,for all those..I do hope mine do their job too :o)
