Aconitum columbianum, also known as Columbian monkshood or western monkshood, is a species of flowering plant in the buttercup family. It is native to western North America and can be found in riparian areas, meadows, and coniferous forests at elevations ranging from 600 to 2,900 meters. This perennial plant has lobed or toothed leaves and produces deep blue or purple flowers with a spur. Its fruits are pod-like follicles. Like other monkshoods, Aconitum columbianum is poisonous to humans and livestock, but has also been used in traditional medicine. This species has several subspecies and varieties, including Aconitum columbianum ssp. columbianum, Aconitum columbianum var. howellii, and Aconitum columbianum ssp. viviparum.

Germination/Propagation Top

Suggest a correction or add new data!
Sow seeds immediately as their viability decreases rapidly, or they best germinate when fresh. If stored, seeds might need temperature cycling and patience to germinate.
seed very poisonous, wash hands after handling, 20°C x 4 weeks, then -7°C x 6 weeks, then 10°C
