A tall-growing herbaceous perennial bearing racemes of purple-blue flowers in summer. Aconitums are extremely toxic and all parts of the plant can cause severe stomach upset if eaten. They can also be harmful to the skin, so always handle these plants with care and avoid using them in gardens where children are likely to come into contact with them.
