This plant came in with a batch of Peonies, actually I think it was growing within a peony! I knew the next spring that there was a monkshood there, but decided to let it go. 2 seasons later here it is in bloom - another great plant for fall color. This is Aconitum cammarum 'Bicolor'. I'll probably virus test it and hopefully propagate it since this clump has really grown big!

Thanks for looking

That is really cool, but not for my garden even though it would look neat in my "sorta white" garden. Ben is 4 1/2 and still puts all kinds of plant matter into his mouth. I still have to be careful about stuff like that. But what a bonus deal! I love getting a nice two for one.

Is Monkshood a shade plant ,I love that.

Be careful handling the roots when you divide. The sap is said to be poisonous.

That is certainly beatiful.

I believe all parts are poisonous. Same with foxglove and castor bean. All very pretty, but not for my garden right now. Oh well. Just need more hostas instead!
