A eye-catching flower with racemes of wealthy red or purple blossoms, recognized by their helmet-shaped upper-petal, in September and Aug. A useful for growing in the colour of plants, or in the back of a edge. This eye-catching monkshood is a low servicing alternative to delphiniums. The arises hardly ever need staking, and given that all parts of the flower are highly harmful, unwanted pests usually leave the foilage alone.
