Aconitum Fischeri 
Aconitum (Monkshood) 
A splendid family of plants resembling in habit the 
delphiniums, but flowering during late summer and fall. 
They are very adaptable to grouping and most useful

hardy but slow to establish and for that reason should 
remain undisturbed as long as possible. Aconites can 
be grown in partial shade or full sun.
