Aconitum napellus 'Newry Blue
This selection grows 36 in tall plants with deep blue flowers that bloom in July. Nice upright growing plants with spikes of many showy flowers lend some nice vertical effect to the semi shady garden or in full sun where soils are moisture retentive.

Freeze seed for two weeks before sowing. Sow in a bag...
