Monkshood – Arendsii ‘Cloudy’ Bare Root
Aconitum carmichaelii 'Cloudy' is an elegant and eye-catching perennial, showcasing softly hued blue-and-white hooded blooms on tall, sturdy stems from late summer into early autumn. Its richly lobed, glossy, dark-green foliage provides a lush backdrop to the delicate floral spikes.

A standout in the garden, 'Cloudy' attracts bees and butterflies while offering both deer and rabbit resistance.
