Larkspurleaf Monkshood in Detail.

Aconitum delphinifolium is a perennial herb that can grow up to around 3.5ft tall. It has large, deeply lobed leaves that resemble those of delphiniums, hence its common name. The flowers are typically blue or purple, and they bloom in the summer months, from June to August. The plant prefers moist soil and partial shade, and it is often found growing in meadows and on mountain slopes.

Like other species of monkshood, Aconitum delphinifolium contains toxic alkaloids that can be dangerous if ingested. These alkaloids have been used historically as a poison and a medicine, and in some cultures, they are still used today in traditional medicine practices. However, it is important to note that the plant should be handled with care and kept away from children and animals.
