Refreshing – Aconitum ‘Ivorine’
White on blue is a refreshing combo. Yesterday, amidst the heat wave I took few pictures of Aconitum ‘Ivorine’ just starting flowering.
Pure white, tinged with green flowers on sturdy stems make this Aconitum very appealing. The bluish background provided by Juniperus ‘Wichita’ is pure serendipity – most of my plants were planted where I could find a proper space in this new garden without much thinking of colour combinations.

It doesn’t clump excessively, which is unfortunate; I could use more seeds, so this is the next ‘ivory’ generation! Very easy to germinate if the seeds are sown fresh or kept moist and allowed a warm/cold cycle. The pots can be brought indoors around February to germinate and grown under lights will achieve a better growth by June. I had no more space available this year so they germinated outside somewhere beginning of May.

Refreshing is a good description of that creamy goodness in the garden–very pretty blooms. It’s stunning with the backdrop of the blue juniper.
And I don’t have to worry it will get on the rabbits menu :) I need more Aconitums!
This is a gorgeous plant and a wonderful combo! Love it :)
Thx :)
