Aconitum napellus is categorised as a highly poisonous plant.

Water regularly and allow the soil to dry out in the meantime.

- If the plant is divided every 2-3 years and weak roots and shoots are removed, the reward is better growth and flowering vigour!
- Rock garden plants love loose, well-drained soil. However, as this substrate stores little water, the plants must be watered regularly for several weeks after planting, especially in dry conditions, until they are sufficiently rooted.

Planting: Autumn, depending on variety also in spring.
