Delphinium Cup 'n Saucers

13 years ago

Remember my delight in bringing home four Cup'n Saucer plants but they were actually Delphiniums? The nursery had mis-labeled the pots? Well, they ARE pretty and I got one of each color (far right front is a light pink,shows up white in photo). I was going to hang a sign on the little shed that read, "Orchard Cottage", before I snapped the picture but I forgot! ha.

Pretty yes, only I didn't want Delphinium. Will these spread by dropped seed? They are biennial too I thought.

Does anyone here grow Cup'n Saucer, other than the vine variety? I'm wondering why I don't see it in nurseries, that is why I bought these pots because I was so excited to find what I thought was C'nS. The local RKO carries the seed packets in the Spring.
