I'm interested in the vulparia, and your pink cow parsley, Chaerophyllum hirsutum 'Roseum', but I don't have anything you specificaclly list. Could I interest you in passifloras or brugmansias?

Thanks Linda ;-) I have quite a bit of the Aconitum seeds, so decided the other day to go ahead and 'summer sow' a portion of them anyhoo and see what happened. Still have some left too, just in case. Thanks! CMK

'Newry Blue' is supposed to be a good one. think it is 4ft and blooms a bit earlier though?? Sorry I can't offer more advice on that. I love Monkshood and grow/have grown a number. 'Pink Sensation', 'Bicolor', 'Spark's Variety', one supposedly anthora but assuredly not. I've grown A. septentrionale 'ivorine' from seed as well a similar one I'm forgetting. I'm pretty sure my 'Red Wine' germinated too!! So excited about that. Not to hijack your thread but .....does everyone else grow theirs in mostly shade? I've had anthracnose (what I believe it to be anyway) on the ones planted in too much shade. I'm leery of planting more because of that. Pic of my 'Sparks Variety' with Nora Leigh just for kicks. Lovely plant if you find a partner it can lean on, lol CMK

Mmm, a dry unseasonally hot UK summer has given my aconitums a torrid year - Spark's variety certainly crisped to a frazzle while the statuesque carmichaelii arendsii is also looking a bit...thin. Not such a bulletproof choice in a dry woodland, it seems, unless a few bucketfuls of water are thrown in their direction. The earlier spring varieties do well for me...but it is that autumn blue I crave (asters, lovely though they are, are just not hitting the right shade of inky blue). I sowed my last few Ivorine (septentrionale) seeds this week, but am considering doing another seed order (I want more of the early cammarum Stainless Steel and a white cammarum from Plantworld).
