Description

Flowers: June-August.  Plant in part shade or woodland.  HxS 1.5mx50cm

Our native monkshood is an upright, tuberous perennial with showy flowers on dark spikes.  The flowers are electric blue and held in spires above the foliage.  Architectural in habit it does not require staking and grows best in a well drained but moisture retentive soil in some shade.  Pest and disease resistant.  Easy and ultra hardy. Pot size 1.5 litre. *CAUTION toxic if eaten.

Please order early in the season otherwise this will need to be cut back for transportation!

Care & Maintenance.

Cut back after flowering unless you want seed heads, or tidy in the spring.  Spring is the best time to divide clumps, but seed is better sown fresh in our experience.
