"Just living is not enough," said the butterfly, "one must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower." ~Hans Christian Andersen. (Flower = Delphinium 'Lilac Rose White Bee')

Wonderful. Will give them a go. Thank you. Have you ever grown from seed?
@busybeex4 yes - the only disadvantage of that (though they're relatively easy from seed) is that as a hybrid the plant might look quite different from the parent. Dividing clumps in Jan / Feb is the simplest way to get lovely similar looking specimens. Good luck!
Thank you for your advise. 🤗
