I have a delphinium that I planted late last season as little more than a small cutting. I didn't expect it to survive, but it came up again this year. It has grown okay for a first year plant but no sign of any bloom. It is in a bed where it gets morning sun--my New Guinea impatiens and heuchera always do well in that bed. I'm wondering if it needs more sun, but am also concerned about frying it with too much sun--the only other delphinium I've ever had hated our hot, muggy summers and flopped over and died on me midsummer, so I have been cautious with this one. Here is a photo of it.

Anyone have any suggestions for it? I'd really love to see it bloom. I was told it is 'Magic Fountain Cherry Blossom'.
