New around these parts so I’m jumping in! No full garden shot - first year, we moved just before lockdown. This Gaillardia is brightening up a corner, though. Colours are so intense.
Thank you Songbird. That’s simply a delphinium or, more precisely, two or three delphiniums. It’s odd because it flowers late and this season sent up multiple spires rather than single ones. In past seasons it has been a martyr to mildew so this year I gave it weekly doses of seaweed foliage feed and I thought I had cracked it. Then three weeks ago the leaves started crinkling and copious watering did nothing. Fortunately the flowers were not affected though they have been somewhat blown off vertical by recent strong winds.
