Purple wolf's bane
The young plant arrived feeble, but also burnt and tarred black at certain ends. Still languishing in the pot where I transplanted it. Adding to that, an abominable customer service. I will never order from here again.

Description
Aconitum x cammarum 'Bicolor' is a beautiful perennial tuberous plant. It blooms from June to August in panicles of bluish-purple and white flowers in the shape of a helmet, hence its nickname "Jupiter's Helmet".
This little-known hardy plant reaches a height of 1.20m (4ft). It produces deciduous, alternate, shiny, finely cut, lobed, dark green leaves, 5 to 10cm (2 to 4in) long. The upright and arched stems bear panicles of bluish-purple and white helmet-shaped flowers, 40cm (16in) long.
Beware! All parts of the plant are toxic if ingested (anaesthetic). Do not plant it near vegetables or children's areas.
Aconitum cammarum 'Bicolor' grows in deep, moist, humus-rich, well-drained soil, in semi-shaded conditions. It tolerates limestone. Adding compost at planting is recommended. It needs moisture in summer and no stagnant water in winter.
The 'Bicolor' aconite is perfect against a wall or around a bush. Despite its toxicity, it deserves a place in the garden. Plant it in the background of flower beds, in the company of tall perennial geraniums, dahlias, or miscanthus grasses.
Tips: Wait until the 5th year to divide them.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
