Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This is a superb Monkshood for containers or for the gardener who abhors staking (and really - are there any out there who love staking? I think not) as this only gets a compact 3' high at most. Many showy brilliant blue flowers from midsummer on and totally deer proof. Easy.
