Aconitum lycoctonum subsp. neapolitanum

<a href="https://en.promessedefleurs.eu/perennials/perennials-by-variety/aconitum.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Aconitum napellus or monk's hood</a> is a <strong>perennial plant with generous and long-lasting flowering</strong>. Aconitum, often associated with the word poison, suffers from a bad reputation due to its legendary toxicity, which has earned it the nickname "wolf's bane" (<em>Aconitum vulparia</em>). Aconitum, widely used today in homeopathy (notably <em>Aconitum napellus or </em>Aconitum napel), is <strong>still too unjustly overlooked</strong> in our gardens. Majestic and delicate, <strong>its long floral spikes</strong>, sometimes reaching nearly 1.5m, stand tall above a <strong>beautifully dissected foliage</strong>, featuring spikes of <strong>flowers most often blue</strong> (<em>Aconitum carmichaelii</em>), white or yellow, and bloom <strong>from June to October</strong> depending on the variety. Behind the apparent fragility of the flowers lies a <strong>very robust and hardy plant</strong> (-15°C). This beautiful tall perennial is <strong>easy to grow in all climates</strong> and thrives in cool, rich soil, <strong>preferably in partial shade.</strong> Aconitum is valuable for introducing <strong>vertical accents</strong> and focal points in <strong>the back of borders or along edges.</strong> It easily combines with other reliable and floriferous perennials in <strong>opulent summer scenes</strong>. When cut, its inflorescences make <strong>very lovely bouquets</strong> with a rustic charm. Its ample foliage and generous flower spikes will bring a <strong>striking and colourful touch</strong> to the garden.
