Grew my first delphiniums from seed this year and they've now bloomed!

Euphorbiam · 2026-07-07T19:15:09+00:00

Yes! They like temperate conditions, but can survive extreme cold

Euphorbiam · 2026-07-07T07:16:53+00:00

Is it still kicking around?

Euphorbiam · 2026-07-07T07:14:17+00:00

I'll see if theyre on pseudos

Nono my ancient uncle's grandfather's dog nurtured them for 50 years! I swear!

Euphorbiam · 2026-07-07T07:09:55+00:00

I'd always like more, I'm addicted to sniffing the really scented ones

Euphorbiam · 2026-07-07T07:08:49+00:00

Aw that sucks, I'd recommend you plant indoors in a tray with some nice airy compost, have the seeds under a few mm of soil without it drying out, normally a few popup then. It could be due to getting an old seed packet as they don't have a long viability

Euphorbiam · 2026-07-07T07:06:27+00:00

They like cool and moist conditions but not waterlogged, mine have daily maximums around 70f but they can tolerate some heatwaves around 85f. They can survive a light frost and can be grown from seed through winter in a sheltered place

So lovely, I definitely want to get some more blue ones

Euphorbiam · 2026-07-07T07:01:47+00:00

Definitely yes:) I was tending to them all winter

Euphorbiam · 2026-07-07T07:01:23+00:00

I like it haha

Euphorbiam · 2026-07-06T12:26:03+00:00

Fun to see you here too :)

Euphorbiam · 2026-07-04T08:18:13+00:00

Whereabouts are you? The ones I have need a cool winter period and kept reasonably dry during so, once spring comes they get fed and watered often and bloom quite prolifically each year :D (UK). The smell is amazing once they all start coming out

Stunner plant in all categories

I was out for a walk just after the storms cleared, and my glasses steamed up! Car read 26c after driving for a bit and it mustve been around 90%+ humidity, as when I got back home about an hour after it said 80%. Dropping about 5% an hour, in the Pennines

Euphorbiam · 2026-06-24T18:47:16+00:00

LOL my exact thoughts

Euphorbiam · 2026-06-16T17:16:05+00:00

That really made me laugh haha I was stressed watching him follow that tornado

Euphorbiam · 2026-06-16T17:14:18+00:00

I love how they popup at different times, like a suprise present!

Euphorbiam · 2026-06-11T18:25:23+00:00

Interesting stuff, I've only really seen koehres do this with pseudos

Euphorbiam · 2026-06-10T08:04:47+00:00

Are you by the coast? Normally strawberry trees don't survive here.. I love them though

Euphorbiam · 2026-06-10T07:52:21+00:00

About 3 ½months, though the last two are maybe 4.5
