Cloudy Monkshood Aconitum
Aconitum napellus ‘Cloudy’
 
Mysterious and elegant, Cloudy Monkshood brings unique colour and vertical drama to late-season gardens. This striking perennial produces tall spires of soft silvery-blue, hooded flowers that resemble the cowl of a monk—hence its name. Blooming from late summer into early fall, it adds cool, moody tones when most perennials are winding down.
 
With an upright habit—reaching 36–48 inches tall and 18–24 inches wide—Cloudy Monkshood is ideal for the back of borders, woodland gardens, or as a late-season accent. Its deeply cut, dark green foliage remains attractive throughout the season, providing texture and structure in shaded or partially shaded spaces.
 
Well-suited to Canadian climates, Monkshood is cold-hardy (Zones 3–7) and thrives in moist, well-drained soil with partial shade. It’s also deer and rabbit resistant, and requires minimal maintenance once established.
 
Add a touch of mystery and elegance to your late-season landscape with Cloudy Monkshood—a dramatic, shade-loving perennial that thrives in Canadian gardens.
