The delphinium is a majestic perennial. The one in the picture here was grown three years ago, along with some others, for a friend’s wedding. It is not a difficult plant to grown but will need some support as it can be readily blown over even in a mild wind.
I have found in the past that placing a stake beside the plant when it first appears in the spring and then tying it to that stake as it grows, is a good way to keep it from breaking.

that is sad about your delph but thanks for the compliment.
I'm sobbing because my hubs gave me one of those last year as a gift and it died. It had so much promise. Your's is gorgeous.
