Reader Call: Delphineums

Reader Yvie is looking for advice on some delphiniums she was given. I am absolutely clueless about flower gardening, so I am opening up the floor.

In her letter she says:


I received a gift from a friend, these are delphiniums (the cherryblossom ones and they’re small compared to the normal delphinium).

I’m wondering how do I start cultivating these kinds of flowers? The weather here is like spring all the time. June is the start of our rainy season. So far it rained yesterday. I have only a few more months before these seeds expire. I have also researched about this but I don’t know how to start. Any idea?

Any readers with suggestions? Tried and true tips preferred, but links to good gardening sites would help too.
