  • Aconitum arendsii, commonly known as Monkshood, is a captivating perennial prized in Irish gardens for its tall spikes of elegant, hood-shaped flowers and rich, deep blue-purple hues. Native to mountainous regions but well-adapted to the Irish climate, this plant adds height, drama, and a touch of mystery to borders, woodland gardens, and shaded areas.

    Growing up to 1.2 metres tall, Aconitum arendsii prefers moist, well-drained soil in a partially shaded to shaded position, making it ideal for cooler, sheltered spots in the garden. It flowers in late summer to early autumn, offering a late-season splash of colour when many other plants are fading.

    The distinctive helmet-shaped blooms not only provide ornamental appeal but also attract bees, supporting biodiversity in your garden. 

    Key Features:

    • Height: up to 1.2 metres

    • Deep blue-purple, helmet-shaped flowers on tall spikes

    • Flowers from late summer to early autumn

    • Prefers moist, well-drained soil in partial shade or shade

    • Attracts pollinators such as bees

    Add Aconitum arendsii to your garden for a dramatic and elegant addition that thrives in cooler, shaded Irish spots — a true classic for the thoughtful gardener.
