Hi, I have had a delphinium in my garden for the last four years,It was a cutting sent to me from Scotland, but it never flowers till the end of Sept beginning Oct by the time it is in full flower the frost gets to it. I always thought that delphiniums came into flower in the spring so can anyone tell me why mine is so late? I live in the Midlands just outside Birmingham if thats any help.

Weather related again-I say again because there have been many recent discussions about plants doing odd things recently and it down to weather patterns this year
Having said that delphiniums will often flower twice a year-if cut back after first flowering
Just a thought, but are you sure it's a delphinium? Aconites look very similar IMHO, and do come into flower about now.
Thanks sotongeoff, But it has never flowered early in the four years it has been planted, not just this rear. I know dele's can flower twice but mine dont get a chance to.
Sorry -I thought you meant it was flowering unusually late now-why not take a picture so we can see what it looks like?
hi figrat yes I am pretty sure its a Delphinium I have grown them before and it looks pretty much like one to me.I will google Aconites to make sure.
I will take a photo and hopefully post it as I'm not the worlds best with pc,s
Delphinium
really, I looked them up on Google and they didnt look anything like this. Do I just look for aconites or is there another name with it? I sound so dumb sorry.
