Description

Perennial plants very resistant to cold. Despite their toxicity, they deserve wide use, in the background of flower beds, in the company of large perennial geraniums, dahlias or grasses such as Miscanthus. They like a soil rich in humus, sun or partial shade, they are not afraid of lime, but they hate dry and poor soils. Easy to grow in cooler regions where ambient humidity is never lacking.

Collected in Yunnan in the Gaoligong-shan range at an altitude of about 3000m (9842ft), this Aconite forms a dense clump with glossy foliage, spreading with the help of its underground stolons. Good ground cover effect. To be combined with ferns, Epimediums, Podophyllums, Bergenias...
