Overwintering Delphs in a container

18 years ago

I read the other thread about Who Loves Delphiniums but this is a little off topic so I started a new thread. Last year was my first with Delphs, I tried 2 beautiful Magic Fountain varieties in different spots. Of course last year was the drought so even though I watered, fed and babied, they did not return.

This year I am trying the New Milenniums. Of the 3 I planted, only 1 bloomed (in fairness, my dog laid on one twice) and I was not all that impressed. It was nothing like the majesty of the Magic Fountains or the Pacific Giants I have seen pictured.

When I saw a dark purple Magic Fountain this year, I could not resist so I decided to just leave it in its pot and not plant it. Is this a possibility for those of us with really hot and humid summers? Would you just put it in the garage for winter? Water?
