My Experience With Delphinium!

Honestly, Lisa has always used delphinium as an annual here in our Zone, 6b. It just hasn’t proven over the years to be reliable. Occasionally, she will get one or two that makes a second appearance, but it’s been disappointing... until now! This group of dwarf delphinium “Mini Stars” has really impressed Lisa with its reappearance. These were planted last year (late summer).

Thank you for sharing this new variety of delphiniums. I will look for them. I have the tall ones and they do require staking but they are oh so worth it. I also have found that they come back if I do not cut back anything and do clean up in the spring rather than fall. I will take a brown leaf off if it looks dead and messy but all in all I let my entire garden die down in winter for the pollinators. I also found that Guara comes back too and it used to die off and not return. I do not cut the dead foliage in fall until spring shoots start appearing. New subscriber, thank you for the video ~ happy gardening from Ontario Canada zone 6.

Thank you for watching and your comment! They are so worth it! I’ve always planted them as annuals, and I’m so happy to share a variety that has truly been perennial.

The tags may say zones 3-7 but I have been growing in zone 8b and my best luck seems to be with the blue ones with white eyes. I have some that have been in 22 inch containers for 8 years. I refresh the soil every other year and have permanent plant stakes. Other issues is slugs which I have to put slug bait down on a regular schedule throughout the growing season.

Thank you for your comment! So interesting about being in zone 8b!

If you a lot of them going, they tend to hold up better in the wind.
