My favorite colour in flowers are blue and white and this Stormhat has such a nice intense blue colour
Aconitum napellus, Stormhat
A decorative up to 1.5 meters high perennial. In June-August developed long inflorescences with beautiful violet blue flowers.
The name comes from the Greek akoniton, which means an arrow, and plans has been an important ingredient in arrow poison. Napellus means small turnip, although not to entice people to eat it, because it is one of our toxic plants. Poison, which caused the contents of alkaloids, is so strong that it can penetrate through small scratches in the skin. Plant has been part of the witch's flying ointment, such because it does pain and reduces the pulse.
