What kind of lights are you using Morning Glory? Trying to grow delphiniums in Texas is probably a lost cause, but they are SO beautiful.The photo of those beautiful baby blues is just gorgeous, Frank. Yours look wonderful too, Kathy. I purchased a full sized delphinium in bloom last spring, but it didn't make it through the summer and the one plant cost around $16...... I'm trying to see if I can get seedlings started. So many of my flowerbeds are in full shade now, which is good for the heat issue, but it is hard to grow flowers which need sunlight. We've trimmed back some lower branches on trees, so maybe that will give the beds more direct light.
