We describe how delphiniums may be used in gardens and give details of cultivation methods for plants in the open ground and containers. We describe how to raise delphiniums from seed, how to propagate them from cuttings and the pests and diseases that can affect them. We include details of special procedures required for growing some wild delphiniums. |
