ACONITUM Monkshood Tall, showy spikes of hooded or helmet-shaped flowers appear over several weeks in early summer, midsummer or late fall, depending on the variety. Flower colours range from white, ivory, pink, violet and yellow to some of the most vivid blues and purples in the perennial world. The leaves are very attractive - shiny, deeply cut, and very dark green with a black tinge. because they are so easy to grow, many gardeners use aconitum as a substitute for delphinium. Monkshood quickly forms a large clump in moist, cool, fertile soil in part shade to full sun and it makes an excellent cut flowers. All parts are poisonous, but this is not a scary plant unless you’re stupid enough to eat it. I like aconitum a lot and grow almost every variety I can fit into the gardens. I haven’t lost a kid or a dog to it yet. ACONITUM carmichaelii arendsii 40" x 24" z2 $8.95 Large azure-blue flowers on tall spikes bloom exceptionally late - into November here.
