Growing and Maintenance Tips:


Grows well in full sun but requires sufficient water. Aconitums grow 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. Beware of handling this plant as all parts are highly poisonous. 

Additional Notes about White Monkshood:


The upper sepal of the flower bears a striking resemblance to a cloth hood worn by the medieval monks, thus the common name "Monkshood".
