>> you grow those from seed RC.
Yup! First I lost many trays of seedlings to slugs. But they don't seem to eat the adult. I am SO lucky that thye colors were so nice. Especially with the sun BEHIND it, it's like pastel stained glass.
Delphinium Pacific Giant =
Delphinium elatum
OP heirloom Perennial
from Botanical Interests #1014, but out of stock.
One cool thing about it - the seeds are super-easy to collec t and they clean themselves. They grow in cup-like capsules that point upwards. You know they are ready when they rattle if you tap the branch. Then just position a big box or tray under them. TIP the flower spike over to just POUR them out of the cups. The seeds are perfectly clean just as they pour out of the capsules.
