A new addition to the family, named after the famous church, Aconitum carmichaelii 'Pershore Abbey' will create quite a statement in your garden. In summer, tall stems soar above attractive clumps of fine foliage, holding racemes of unusual vibrant blue flowers, reminiscent of pixie hats, or monks' hoods, hence the common name Monkshood. Aconitums are native to the mountainous, meadowland and scrubland of Europe, North America and Asia. Once used in medicine as a pain-reliever. Excellent as cut flowers for your home, although wash your hands after cutting and whenever you handle these plants. Aconitum carmichaelii 'Pershore Abbey' prefers to be grown in moist soil in part shade, reaching a height of 90cm and spreading to 40cm. A hardy, herbaceous perennial which dies back over winter, resprouting again in the spring.
