Even one I bought out in Portland, OR two Aprils ago made it through beautifully and flowered profusely! Now the coum is seeding around nicely. My Aconitum 'bicolor' is taking quite a long time to get its footing, but is now doing well and flowering.

You must seek out and try Aconitum alboviolaceum, one of the few true climbers among the genus. Its flowers are decidedly mitre shaped and are a stunning two tone creamish white and violet as its name suggests. I have it scrambling up Thalictrum delavayi 'Splendide' – which stopped visitors in their tracks this summer!
