Monkshood
Flowers are deep blue to blue and have 1 to 2 inch high hoods.
Note: All parts of the plant are poisonous, especially the roots.
They bloom from late summer into early fall.
Monkshood takes 2 to 3 years to bloom from seed.
They are used for cut flowers and shade gardens.
Monkshood perform best in shade under trees or on the east or north side of a house.
The flowers occur in clusters along tall spikes.
The Monkshood, 'Aconitum napellus', is a wonderfully different perennial for your shade garden.
