    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Rollicking twining Monkshood from China that delights in scrambling up into shrubs or onto thin trellage. Although a fine and aristocratic perennial, it remains devoid of snobbery embracing chain link as if it were ornate wrought iron at an Antebellum mansion. Dusky lavender flowers.
