Really chuffed with the intense blue on this delphinium elatum, grown from seed collected in Siberia, can grow to 8 ft. tall.

    That’s a really good blue Richard 😊 

    Are they as attractive to molluscs as most delphiniums?

    Wow, did you go to Siberia by yourself? An unusual travel destination.  😊

    That really is a beautiful blue Richard. I've not had much success with delphiniums so far but I've also got a plant from Siberia, a Russian sage, with blue spikes and big hairy leaves - collected by the Director of the Bristol Botanic Garden.
