delphinium in pot?

Can delphinium flowers be grown in flower pots.

Doug says that any plant can be grown in a pot if you give it a big enough pot. In this case, a delphinium is a rather tall plant so you really do want to use a big pot (16" will do) so it doesn't tip over the pot. Small and light pots will flop all over the place in any kind of wind once the plant starts to bloom and you'll regret it when you break off the stem.
