Aconitum lamarckii (Monkshood)

Aconitum lamarckii
(Yellow Monkshood)

Yellow Monkshood brings an unusual color to the late-summer garden with tall spikes of pale yellow flowers rising above deeply cut green foliage. Its upright habit adds height and structure to shaded borders and woodland-style plantings when many earlier perennials are beginning to fade.

It performs best in cool, moist, fertile soil and works especially well toward the middle or back of perennial borders. The flowers also attract bees and other pollinators and make striking additions to cut arrangements.
