Description
Aconitum 'Bicolor,' also called Monkshood, is a unique perennial that adds elegance to garden borders with its striking two-tone flowers. The blooms have deep violet-blue edges and white centers, creating a beautiful contrast against the green leaves. It blooms from late summer to early autumn and can grow to 90–120 cm, adding height and interest to garden spaces.
Ideal for the back of borders or cottage-style gardens, Aconitum 'Bicolor' brings both beauty and drama to the landscape. However, be cautious, as all parts of the plant are toxic if eaten, and the sap can cause skin irritation. Handle with care and plant in areas where pets and children won't come into contact with it.
