Aconitum lycoctonum, also known as wolf's-bane or northern wolf's-bane, is a flowering plant found in Europe and northern Asia. It is commonly found in forests and shaded areas, and is also grown in gardens. The plant has a high morphological variability, but molecular studies have shown that it belongs to a species complex with multiple taxa. It grows up to 1m tall and has dark violet or pale yellow flowers. The plant is mainly pollinated by long-tongued bumblebees, but also attracts other insects. Like all plants in the Aconitum genus, it is poisonous due to the presence of alkaloids. However, the toxicity of A. lycoctonum is lower than that of A. napellus, which is another common European species. While A. napellus has been used for medicinal purposes, the use of A. lycoctonum seems to have become obsolete earlier.

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; good germination with fresh seed and with seed stored dry x 5 months |
