I'm all for low maintenance no-fuss plants. I was a novice when I decided to try delphs and had no idea really what they were. I tried three of the tall delph varieties: Red Caroline, a light blue one that I cannot remember, and Pagan Purples, which is one of the New Millenium series. None performed well or grew for more than one year, except Pagan Purples. I have grown it for 7 or 8 years, moved it, and divided it. It has been beaten by storms and broken into pieces, and it immediately regrows. I get two or three sets of blooms from it each summer. Mine grows to 7 feet tall with 2 foot flower spikes. I never fertilize it or baby it in any way, except to stake each flower stalk. If this is a good representation of the New Millenium group, then I would say you can't go wrong with them.

Old gardeners never die. They are just pruned and repotted.
