Comments: Delphinium - Delphinium grandiflorum - Larkspur These cool season blue beauties are always popular and available in the cool season months in your Florida Home Depots. A perennial in states to our north, Delphiniums are like most of the perennials in the temperate world and die in our tropical humid Florida summers. Still they remain very popular with gardeners everywhere. Use them in beds with pansies, petunias, alyssum and other cool season favorites. Rotate containers of showy cool season annuals with warm season annuals into an empty pot-in-pot pocket in a mixed container planted with more durable tropical plants. You can also do the pot-in-pot technique in ground beds especially where tree roots make digging a problem. Check out our blog for posts about this idea. Key word pot-in-pot.
