The Cutting Garden

Has anyone grown Delphinium Summer Nights???

16 years ago

Although I know this isn't a cut flower because of its short height, has anyone grown this variety? In searching for a blue flower to grow in pots for a 4th of July float next year, I discovered this. I'm curious as to how its performed, since I'll be growing a lot of them for the float, then later selling them. It will accompany pots of red and white dahlias.

I think the package of seed I had from Thompson and Morgan failed to germinate, so no comments.

Yep! Great plant. Detailed cultural info can be found on the originators website:

Thanks for the response. Now, where can I find the seed in a commercial quantity? Looks like Harris seed carried it last year, but not this year. Would appreciate any help.

Gloeckner has it listed at 1000 for $18.67 - 1-800-345-3787
Geo has it listed at 1000 for $14.90 - 1-888-645-2323

If these guys carry it, more than likely most of the others will too.
