Stately Delphiniums 
Exceeding 6 feet in height, these striking perennials are necessary for every hardy border, 
producing magnificent spikes of flowers in July and August. By cutting off the stems and 
leaves after blooming, they may be induced to yield a second crop of flowers in the autumn. 
In sections where mildew is serious, many growers treat Delphinium as an annual by 
sowing seed under glass in mid-winter, planting out in spring.
