A perennial cultivar.

Has dark green, deeply lobed and divided leaves and the whole plant has an upright habit. Bears large, white flowers partially edged in violet-blue.

Flowers late May to July

Loves a moist but well drained soil in light shade but will tolerate some sun. Not a plant for hot climates, it prefers a cooler climate.

A striking cultivar for the shady border but VERY TOXIC!
