WHY HAVE A DELPHINIUM TRIAL?
The purpose of the Trial is to assess the suitability of delphinium cultivars for garden use. Plants that are judged to be of a sufficiently high standard are granted the prestigious “Award of Garden Merit” (AGM). Delphiniums that produce individual blooms of oustanding quality may be granted Awards that relate to their suitablility for exhibition. The collection of about 80 cultivars includes new introductions from delphinium breeders, older named cultivars that have not been fully assessed and some AGM delphiniums that provide standards for comparison. The plants are mostly Elatum-Group cultivars of UK origin. In 2007 / 2008 there was also an invited Trial of Perennial Delphiniums from Seed. The quality of the plants and their flowers was assessed for delphiniums from 46 entries, of which three Seed Selections were given AGM’s. During 2009, the whole programme of RHS Plant Trials has been reviewed. In future a Trial of Delphiniums will be held only if a proposal for a Trial from the
