Monk’s Hood (Aconitum) is a stately perennial carrying tall spires of hooded indigo-blue flowers in summer — dramatic, but poisonous.
Free click & collect from the nursery, or delivery on larger orders.
A handsome, architectural perennial with deeply cut dark-green leaves and tall, upright stems topped by spikes of distinctive hooded flowers in deep indigo-blue. It adds welcome height and structure to a border.
It flowers in summer and is happy in sun or partial shade, and unusually for such a showy plant it will grow in moister, shadier spots where many perennials sulk.
Important: all parts are highly poisonous if eaten, and the sap can irritate skin — wear gloves when handling and keep well away from children and pets.
