Aconitum x cammarum 'Bicolor'
 
      

Tall perennial for the back of a perennial border.  I like this Monkshood's flower colour of white and blue-violet.  Blooms mid summer, many flower spikes per plant.

I've always grown these in the shade, where they get floppy and require staking. going to move at least one and maybe both of my plants into full sun in spring 2000.

All Aconitum have a reputation of being poisonous (even deadly) if eaten.

Hardy to zone 2.

One of our taller perennials. When in bloom, flower spikes reach 5' tall, spread of 2'.

Glen's score:  6.
