Great video. Nice and easy to see what you're doing.👍 I'm in Yorkshire England, and I grew some from seed 2 yrs ago. I've sown some more but might try taking some cuttings.

Glad to hear you enjoyed it. If you do try, just remember to get close to the crown as possible even if you get a piece of it. It’s fun, and something different, hope you enjoy it.

I’m in zone 8b outskirts of Seattle. Rain all last week and this week. I have one in a big pot I lost my other 13 that I dug up and moved to this place 6 years ago. They did okay the first year of transplanting but started dying off 2-3 years. The one I left in the pot seems to like it. All under partial shade as I have lots of trees throughout my beds. Can I use miracle grow potting mix for the cuttings? Or will the professional Sunshine 4 Aggregate mix from home depot work?…it comes in the purple and white bag. I have a very big bag of that from last year. Also my rooting hormone is probably 3 or 4 years old from house plant cuttings. I don’t see an expiration date. Thanks for your time and this! video.

Try to plant them in the sunniest spot possible underneath the trees and make sure to add some fresh compost every year due to the fact the trees feeder roots may be sucking up many of the nutrients. You could use either just firm them down in the container or growing tray to help hold the cuttings, looking at both the Sunshine seems to be the better of the two. The rooting hormone should still be fine. When you take the cuttings have a humidity dome over the top or a good bag. What’s hard to see in this video when you take the cutting take a piece of the crown with it. You can also lift and divide your delphiniums if you would like more. If you want check out The Delphinium Society on Facebook it’s full of great people, information and if you want you can join their society online.

You mentioned “as your delphiniums get older” so I think you’re probably the person I’ve been looking for as no one seems to have a definitive answer to my question. Are delphiniums perennial in zone 7 and if so, are they a short lived perennial? I’ve been having trouble getting them to come back. They’re beautiful for the season, then they go to sleep for winter, never to wake again. Is it me?? Am I doing something wrong or am I buying the wrong delphinium? Thanks in advance.

Great question. They are perennial in zone 7. It may get a little warmer down there so personally I’d consider putting them in a spot that gets dappled shade throughout the day. Get a couple plants try different spots. First things first pick a good variety. If what your choosing is the strain pacific giant those say perennial because they are Elatum delphiniums however the particular strain wasn’t breed to be truly perennial you’ll get the odd one here and there. Second is the spot delphiniums need water but they don’t like to sit in it. When you first get a delphinium water heavy once a week or as needed to just get them established the first year. Not required but after blooming feed with tomato food either the one you work in the soil or mix in watering can. They don’t like to sit in water logged soil over winter they’ll rot. So try a different spot in the garden or if you don’t have anymore spots build a little mound just to help keep the crown dry over winter.

I'm so lost. I know nothing about flowers or gardening and now have a pot of I think are delphinium and perennials. I feed them water once a day and have them on my porch. My delphinium are purple with a blue streak down the middle like paint. No clue. Where do I start? I don't even know the terminology😟

If you like you could email me @ cdreisch@goodsoilnursery.com, and I can see if I can identify what plants you have. Gardening is a learning experience for sure. You shouldn’t have to water every day depending on where you live. Water the pot until you see water coming out of the bottom. Depending on the flowers when they look, like there dying take off the spent flower head, which will keep the flower blooming depending on what flower it is.
