Aconitum Napellus - Monkshood seed purple aconitum flowers

Aconitum Napellus – Monkshood is a plant of legends. Its origin is Asia and parts of Europe where it was used for many different purposes as a poison. Early warriors would dip their arrows in monkshood that they prepared. Women were also lovers of monkshood as a little here and there would cause a husband his demise. The beautiful blue trumpet shaped flowers would fool most of their deadly abilities. It also is said to repel Wolves if you have a Wolf problem. The spires of blooms are magnificent to behold, and I can see why it was so popular. Can I get you a cup of tea?

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine, Florida. All seed are NOT alike!  There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!

SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!!

ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.

DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.

Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!
