If you like delphiniums but you don't have a sunny spot for them, monkshood (Aconitum spp.) is the answer to all your problems! Though they don't look exactly like delphiniums, they are very similar with these sprays of interesting flowers (and grow tall), and they actually prefer shade!
I love delphiniums and this may be my favorite cultivar. Blue is my favorite color and it really is difficult to find a true blue flower - this satisfies.
This is an outstanding beebalm cultivar. This plant is no more than 8" tall and the lilac flowers are absolutely gorgeous. Perfect for the front of a sunny or shady border, the foliage is very aromatic and it attracts butterflies.
