Aconitum napellus
When to plant common monkshood
Propagate monkshood by division and plant in humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil (NC State). In the southern part of its range it needs afternoon sun protection; cut plants back after flowering to promote re-bloom.
Common Monkshood is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
