Susan reports her delight in successful delphinium raising:

Last year,Last year, I ordered seed from you, planted, and achieved flowers on some of my plants. I e-mailed you, mainly to share my pleasure. This is a follow up, and I couldn't be happier. I am the envy of the neighborhood, and if they only knew it, the rest of Pennsylvania, USA. All of my plants survived a very mild winter, not much snow cover. The lack of cold has caused me problems in the past. I did mulch well so that frost heave wouldn't be a problem. This spring I fertilized with Osmocote, once. I haven’t had a chance to get to it again. I have many white and shades of pink delphs towering over 8 feet. A lovely lavender that I transplanted in the late spring that is around 4 feet. Same with some lovely blues. The side branching on all of the plants is plentiful enough to ensure bloom for some time to come. I just cut a lot of flowers to bring in. I was unprepared for the heights of these plants, and didn't do enough staking. Live and learn. I have also had no problem with a dreaded insect or worm that has done major bud damage in the past to other delphs I've tried unsuccessfully to grow. This may just be luck. Anyway, thank you and I will continue to order seed from you. God knows where I'll plant them.

Thank you, Susan Brunell
