| Delphinium 'Little Flamingo' may be short, but don't be tempted to grow it in a patio pot.
The roots of Elatum-type Delphiniums are very sensitive to moisture levels, and when they grow to the edge of a pot, the difference between the temperatures inside and outside the pot causes condensation to form on the root, which kills the plants very quickly.
This is strictly one for the border! |

New possibilities from Kebra
By Miriam Young
Being so involved in the growing of new varieties, it’s only natural that Mark and Patrick should be curious as to how well they can do at creating a few of their own, so in 1999 they set up a breeding program for Delphiniums and Campanulas. |
