I've always loved the blue delphiniums. I generally plant one or two, when they first come out in the nurseries here in February. But by now (June) they are toast! Fried completely to a dead brown. But I love them, and plant one or two anyway...just so I can enjoy them. I usually plant them next to my cobalt birdbath and cobalt blue hedge hogs, with yellow pansies and hot pink petunia's. I'm ready for fall. It's getting to darn HOT here.
