Large, unique, bicoloured monkshood flowers that are creamy white with a luscsious blue flush at the tips of the petals. Deeply divided foliage. Full sun to part shade. A great vertical accent for sun to part shade. All parts of the plant are poisonous so don't use it in salads. Photo courtesy Great Plant Picks.

Yes, Yes, Yes - it is DEER RESISTANT! I would suggest laminating a copy of deer resistant plants and hang it in your garden for the deer to read because they don't seem to be paying attention. Very nice blue and white flowers combine with attractive foliage.
