Plant this design against a sunny corner of the house or along the borders of a walkway
Add in flowering shrubs such as Red Hybrid Azaleas, White Spirea, or White or Red Meidiland shrub Roses to intensify your Red, White & Blue display.
Plant the Delphinums at a spacing closer than recommended, and they will support each other all season without the use of stakes.
