I have found in my plant 'nursery' section in the back garden a small plant bearing the label Aconitum alboviolaceus/um cant read the last letters. But what is it like?

I havent found a match for it when i googled the name. Does anyone grow it or has grown it? when does it flower/how tall etc. I suspect going by its name it is pale lilac/white in colour. I dont know where I got it from either other than it would have been HPS or NCCPG stalls last year.

Any help greatfully received

I have bought from him before and looked through his catalogue this year and not spotted it. :')

It sounds very pretty.
