Description

How can you not fall in love with a perennial that has regal blue spires? And monkshood is that plant. Relatively unknown, it deserves a lot more attention. It produces tall spikes of hooded purple, blue, white, or bicolor blooms in late summer to fall. When not in bloom, its mounds of coarsely lobed foliage look great, too.

Aconitum napellus is an erect, tuberous-rooted perennial which features dense, terminal racemes (to 8 long) of hooded, deep purplish-blue to violet flowers atop rigid, leafy stems typically growing 2-4 tall. Commonly found in moist pastures and moist mountainous areas of Europe and Asia.
