Julia, hope you are feeling better today. OTL is a tobacco plant.
I have never grown Delphs from seed. I get 32 plants from GG for around $90. I am not against trying. Kinda overwhelmed with all the daylily seed I plan to plant late February. I might try some unusual seeds of Delphs. Most are short live. Some of the newer hybrids are hardier. You gotta feed them.
Arlene, I have tried Crocosmia Fire King on a couple occasion without success. I just love the deep red in it.
Julia the Ghost Fern and the Penstemon are beautiful.

LB another angle. Reblooms late September into October around here. I was able to get two seeds for the first time and planted next to the mother plant to see what happen. I am going to take some cuttings nest summer to move this beauty around the yard.
