Aconitum carmichaelii 'Arendsii'

Strong clump, stiffly and densely upright, thick, strong shoots.

110-130 cm tall.

Deeply divided, palmate, shiny dark green, often a pretty yellow in autumn, thick and leathery.

Conspicuously large, hooded flowers in broadly compact, narrow flower racemes, violet-blue, September to October; one of the best late-blooming varieties.

No direct sunlight to semi-shady, also sunny if moisture is sufficient, loves cool-humid sites, frost hardy.

Fresh to moist, not too light, but loamy-humic and nutritious.

Whole plant is poisonous.
