Hoping your weather is similar to mine....


Not sure if delphinium spread Gilly...but just a few tips on what I know about delphinium. We can't help the rain...but water at the base (foot) when watering from a hose or watering can. Helps prevent fungal diseases. Plant only in rich soil that drains well. Dry, stoney soil will inhibit flowering. You have to stake them and in your next season...stake as early as possible! Very few varities of delphinium can stand alone. Some can grow as tall as 7'. If you cut back the stems as soon as they are done blooming, you may get a second crop somewhere in September.

Lamium is a ground cover and can run rampant. They have very agressive roots. If you want to contain it you'll have to sink metal or plastic deep into the soil to keep the root spread where you want it.

About the hanging strawberry plant...I can't say for sure, but I think it's an ornamental plant only, and will never produce edible strawberries. I'm assuming it's an annual...but again, that's an assumption!

Hope this helps.....and I love this thread!
