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. Thriving in partial shade to full shade with consistently moist, well-drained soil, it's adaptable to a wide range of soil types—including clay, loam, acidic, alkaline, and neutral. A standout in the garden, 'Cloudy' attracts bees and butterflies while offering both deer and rabbit resistance.
