'Common Monkshood' (a-kon-EE-tum na-PEL-us) RANUNCULACEAE.

The easiest of the monkshoods to grow with dark blue to purple colored, helmet shaped flowers. A good substitute for delphiniums in a lightly shaded spot. Plants are variable in flower color from light blue to dark blue and some even have dark blue flowers with darker almost black edging, erect growing with dense racemes of indigo blue flowers, some solid in color others with darker or lighter shadings. Plants flower in mid summer. Three to five feet tall, growing into clumps were happy, ideal for the woodland garden or in the semi shady border. The monkshoods are good for cutting but the sap irritates some people. All Monkshood's are toxic if eaten. Once plants are established, division of clumps is easy in spring. I love the way this plant looks in the spring when coming out of the ground, The leaves look somewhat like it's relative the delphinium.

Native to western and central Europe.

Zones 4-8. Nice upright growing plants with tall 'spikes' of blue helmet shaped flowers. Grows well in light shade or in sun in cool -- moist, but well drained soils. Plants bloom in July. Freeze seed for two weeks before sowing. Sow in a bag with moist seed mix and keep at 70ºF for three wks, then place in the fridge for four weeks, move to F 55 were germination will occur in 1-4 weeks. Light helps with germination.

Freeze seed for two weeks before sowing. Sow in a bag with moist seed mix and keep at 70ºF for three weeks, then place in the fridge for four weeks, move to F55 where germination will occur in 1-4 weeks. Light helps with germination. Plants will flower the third year.

'Lady Bells' (a-den-O-fo-ra : bul-ee-YAH-nuh) CAMPANULACEAE:

This is the normal light blue form, plants grow 35 inches tall and almost snake their way up through other plants. A good garden subject for mits attractive bell shaped flowers in mid summer. The flowers are charming little bells resembling a Campanula. To me it is one of those plants that are attractive in a dainty sort of way, The flowers are produced later in summer. The foliage is most basil with small reduced leaves on the stems and a greenish-yellow color. Plant in full sun in moister retentive soil that are well draining or in light shade. Plants bloom in Late summer and should bloom the second year. This species produces a thick-fleshy white root and once established does not like to be disturbed.

Zones 3-8. Native to Western China to Eurasia and Japan. Surface sow and germinate the seeds around F45-50, Higher temps will produce poorer results. Germination is irregular, occurring over a period of 1-8 weeks. A good subject to sow in late winter out and keep the tray outside for germination in spring while the soil medium is still cool.

Best in part shade in moisture retentive but well draining soils.
