I have three pots of delphiniums that I never got around to planting last summer. Can I put them outside against the house on our deck and then plant in spring? Or, must I keep them inside (laundry room) until I can get them in the ground? We are still getting very cold/freezing nights (zone 6b) and I don’t want to lose them. How can I start to get them used to being outside and when should I do that?
I am new to delphiniums, and found out they are the flower of my birth month (July) – pretty cool. Mine are blue flowering and about 3′ in height. They will eventually be planted up against the barn in a raised garden, along with some foxglove and daisies (preferably the kind the deer don’t eat!) Also, when is the best time to plant them? I’m thinking May ? Appreciate your feedback as being a beginner with these plants I want to make sure I do this correctly.
Thanks,
Leslie
