Monkshood

Grows well in full sun but requires sufficient water. Aconitum grows best where shade is provided in the hot hours of the afternoon. Relatively slow- growing, it won't need to be divided regularly. They are very resistant to pests and diseases.Bewareof handling this plant as all parts are highly poisonous.

Also referred to as Helmet Flower, Wolfsbane, Carmichael Monkshood. The upper sepal of the flower bears a striking resemblance to the cloth hood worn by a medieval monk, thus the common name "Monkshood".
