Delphinium seeds
 

I have saved seeds and want flowers for next year. Usually I have
planted these into seed trays in the spring and then planted out.
Would I obtain any success if I planted direct into the soil now and
cover with a cloche?

Don't know! :)
However, I'd stick to tried and tested. With your winter weather, I'm not
sure a cloche would be enough protection. :)

Thanks Pete, I'm going to try both methods. We have had 2 nights of
minus a few degrees, it was so sudden, next week promises to have
temps back up in the mid twenties!!!!

If you plant them in the soil now, you can be sure that the slugs will have
a number of dates in spring marked on their calendars...

LOL. I could surround them with coffee grains, an inch high and an
inch deep, rather like a moat round an island:-)
