English Delphiniums  in the Moon Garden

English Delphiniums in the Moon Garden

Every year, I patiently wait to see if my English Delphiniums will bloom before the rain and wind knocks them to the ground. After many years of being disappointed, I finally had the idea to plant them behind a hedge to buffer the storms. They still have to be staked and tied!  I prefer the large English Delphiniums to our native Northwestern Pacific ones. They are about double the width and height. I actually prefer them right before the flower to the full blown flower.
