12 Top Midwest Perennial Flowers
These good-looking perennials can weather whatever our Midwestern climate delivers. Best of all, they come back year after year with almost no attention on your part.
Azure Monkshood
After everything else in the garden has quit blooming, the intense amethyst-blue hooded flowers of Azure monkshood (Aconitum carmichaelii) remain intact. The flowers and leathery foliage can even survive a freeze. The sturdy spikes of Monkshood grows 4 to 6 feet tall and bloom in October and November. These plants like partial shade to full sun. One of our favorite varieties is 'Arendsii'.
