Cloudy Monkshood features striking large flowers in soft blue and white hues complemented by glossy dark green leaves. It blooms from mid to late summer on stems reaching 3 to 5 feet tall, depending on growing conditions. Thriving in sun to partial shade, this plant adds vertical interest to shadier garden spots. Note that all parts are toxic and should not be ingested. Cloudy Monkshood attracts pollinators, particularly bees, and is resistant to deer, making it a valuable addition to expert gardens.
