This is a clone of this climbing Monkshood species we have increased over the last few years which initialy caught our eye as being subtly different than the other form we offer. Particularly when in new growth, this has some yellowish mottling to the new foliage and while we don't think it is pronounced enough to merit a clonal name, it nonetheless appeals to our geeky natures as being a little different. Same light blue flowers as the typical form. This will climb to 10' or more and drape itself upon a handy shrub or trellis.
