Aconitum Carmichaelii

Description

This grand and imposing plant has stout stems which hold very late, August-September, spikes of rich violet-blue hooded flowers above rich green divided foliage. These are very valuable late season flowers when most else has gone.

Sowing Advice

For best results, sow seeds as soon as you receive them onto a good soil-based compost. Cover the seeds with fine grit or compost to approximately their own depth. These seeds can be very slow indeed to germinate, and may wait for spring before emerging whenever sown. Do not use artificial heat to try to germinate them as it will simply disrupt their germination mechanism. Please be very patient, and do not discard the seed pan.
