Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Sturdy upright plants with spikes of pale-pink hooded flowers -- an interesting colour departure for the monkshoods. The leaves are thick and leathery, dark green in colour with a glossy surface and broadly dissected into tri-lobed sections. A great vertical accent for sun to part shade. All parts of the plant are poisonous so don't use it in salads.

Oh those clever Dutch boys. A color breakthrough by famed breeder Piet Oudolf resulting in lovely hooded pink flowers on stems up to 5; high. These seldom need staking and make dandy clumps in a few years especially if you don't skimp on the food and water. Deer hate 'em.
