Deep-blue hooded flowers with a delicately translucent mauve tinge adorn the lengthy spikes that peak this vigorous perennial. Wispy, finely-divided mid-green foliage. An outstanding plant which is a long-standing favorite among gardeners.

Prefers partial shade and grows best in fertile, cool, moisture-retentive soil. Does well in the shady perennial border or wildgarden. Excellent cutflowers.
