Aconitum napellus – Monkshood / Wolfsbane

Aconitum napellus, commonly known as Monkshood or Wolfsbane, is a striking and traditional herbaceous perennial valued for its tall spikes of deep blue to violet flowers and elegant, finely divided foliage. This plant adds height, structure, and dramatic color to borders and cottage-style gardens.

Blooming from mid to late summer, the distinctive hood-shaped flowers are highly ornamental and attract pollinators, making it a valuable addition to wildlife-friendly plantings. Its upright growth habit makes it particularly suitable for the back of flower beds or as a vertical accent among lower-growing perennials.

⚠️ Important Note:
All parts of Aconitum napellus are highly toxic if ingested and may cause skin irritation. Handle with care and keep away from children and pets.

Growing Conditions:
Aconitum napellus thrives in moist, well-drained soil and prefers partial shade, though it can tolerate full sun in cooler climates if sufficient moisture is provided. It performs best in fertile soil with consistent watering, especially during dry periods.

This species is fully hardy and suitable for temperate climates. Due to its height, staking may be beneficial in exposed locations. Minimal maintenance is required beyond regular watering and occasional support..
