Comments

I will certainly try this again just from our experience with other Clear Springs cultivars- Our lavender trial from last year over wintered and has blossomed all summer. It has nice tall cuts up to 24″ and sets one set of blooms after another even in our heat and drought. Probably made 10 to 12 cuts per plant; We planted in crates in an open sided, covered hoop house; We never thought we could grow Delphinium in our hot summers, but this proved us wrong. We had a very hot early start to summer and it hung in there. We will try to get it in earlier next year. – I don’t know if the positive market appreciation was because we were able to grow them at all, or the sheer beauty of a long full stem; Next year expect longer and more stems than this year since these are hardy perennials; Should be a great one, we will watch as it matures next season; Similar to ‘Magic Fountain’; My customers prefer the ‘Pacific Giants’, as they are taller and not as compact. I found these hard to work into bouquets, as they were short and fat.
