They're
only 4 feet tall tall though, so aren't terribly tall by Delphinium
standards.

cheers andy, like yours mine are nearly 4 feet tall, however there are 3 main flower spikes which still look lovely despite the rain and the fact that they're past their best. only bought it this year, but as for whether its a 1 or 2 year old plant i have no idea. guessing two, due to the 3 main stems and looks to bushy to be just 1 year old.
will prune hard soonish
