Monkshood
Aconitum Sparks Variety
Branched panicles of large, masculine, purple-blue hooded flowers are produced on beautiful, slender stems from July to August. A very productive, tall monkshood with deeply-divided, dark green leaves and an outstanding flower colour. It looks stunning when grown ‘en masse’ at the back of a partially shaded border or allowed to form an airy mound about 75cm high. If staked it can reach up to 2 metres tall and sometimes produces a second flush of flowers from September to October. An outstanding, care-free variety.

Garden Care:
If your garden is not free draining revise the border around Achillea to ensure the roots do not become waterlogged. Prune to just above the ground level just before spring & mulch with well rotted organic matter. Please Note: Many perennials go ‘dormant’ which, in some cases, means that there is little or no top growth apparent between November and March. If you order perennials whilst they are dormant, they may not be visible above the soil level when purchased but will burst into life in spring. In the dormant period, we may not have stocks of all varieties in all pot sizes and therefore reserve the right to supply 9cm pots instead of 2 litre and adjust the price accordingly.
