Magnificent spires of creamy-white flowers appear in early- to midsummer, above mounds of attractively lobed, rich green foliage.

The flowers last well after being cut, although as they are toxic care should be taken when handling them.

'Ivorine' makes a stunning companion in combination with Hosta 'Francee' (fortunei), and Geranium pratense 'Mrs Kendall Clark'.


  • Garden care:
    Prepare an extra deep planting hole at least 45cm (18in) deep, adding well-rotted organic matter to prevent the soil from drying out in summer.

    Always wear gloves when working with monkshood since all parts of the plant are poisonous and a potential skin irritant.

    Cut the flowering stem to within 15cm of the ground in the autumn to prevent it self seeding
    • Humans/Pets: TOXIC if eaten; avoid skin contact
