Monkshood

Erect spikes of helmet shaped, indigo-blue flowe

Erect spikes of helmet shaped, indigo-blue flowers in mid and late summer and deeply divided, dark green leaves. Perfect for the back of a shady border, this stately monkshood is a low maintenance alternative to delphiniums. The stems seldom need staking and, given that all parts of the plant are highly poisonous, pests tend to leave the foliage intact. When working with monkshood always wear gloves since all parts of the plant are poisonous and a potential skin irritant.Position: full sun or partial shadeSoil: moist, fertileRate of Growth: averageFlowering period: July to AugustFlowers: indigo blueOther features: deeply divided, dark green leavesHardiness: fully hardy Garden care: Prepare an extra deep planting hole at least 45cm (18in) deep, adding well-rotted organic matter to prevent the soil from drying out in summer.
