year. 

A rock garden needs a background. In this case Lombardy 
Poplars are used 
Delphinium; Larkspur 
Who has not admired this favorite of our grandmothers gar- 
den? The stately spikes of dainty spurred flowers provide the 
necesary touch of blue in May, with a second, perhaps a third 
crop if cut back after blooming. Plant in full sun, in well 
drained soil, preferably sandy loam. Often the addition of 
ground lime helps. In wet soils they may winter kill. Rich soil 
will grow taller spikes than the heights stated below.
