A late summer, September and October, flowering aconitum with panicles of dark blue hooded flowers. Good as cut flowers. A sturdy grower up to 5' for sun to part shade. These will also grow in ordinary garden soil. A great accent for partial shade to full sun.
Photo shows their curious and interesting blooms.
Striking plants with iris like leaves vertically striped in rich cream and green. Loves a bog or pond, but will grow in regular garden soils. The Acorus is on the left in the photo. The native 'Green Dragon' blooms in the spring and is very much at home in a woodland setting. It grows to 2.5' tall and has attractive red berries in the fall.
