Hi, my late father specialised in delphiniums, in 1989 he grew some magnificent specimens, he gave me some seeds from these which I mislaid, recently I came across these seeds in a box in the loft they are sealed in an envelope, is there any chance that they would still be of any use,after all this time, I know very little about gardening,
But would love to try and grow his plants,if at all posible
Kind regards

I would say give it a go. Some years ago the old Market House in Uxbridge near where I live was renovated. It was said that a couple of hundred years or more ago it was the Corn Exchange and seeds were found under old floorboards. They were tried out and some grew so it's definitely worth a try. Nothing to lose. Please keep us posted, I'd love to know how you get on with them.

« need a plant that is happy in a pot 2feet by 1 feet and about 1 feet deep.
the only way to find out if they're still viable is to try sowing them and see if some grow - you may need a propagator to get them going, instructions in the link below
