| Hi phyl345- the monkshood is in a full sun site bit is very sheltered. alyrics- My climate is very brutal on pacific hybrid delphiniums. They are battered by heat and extreme cold and snowless winters- it takes them the most of the spring season just to get up the energy to come up in the spring, about when the heat is starting. They are delayed by the heat until the cool temperatures of fall come to bloom. They are not what I would call healthy. Take a look at the leaves of this plant from last month – |
