Don’t plant these purple flowers in gardens that children or pets can access. Monkshood is a poisonous plant. However, for those gardeners seeking an unusual and challenging plant project, look no further than this dignified bloomer. Not only does the plant produce magnificent purple-cone blossoms, but it also grows attractive, hand-shaped, bright-green foliage. It grows best in spots with morning sun and afternoon shade, with moist but well-drained soil. Just be sure to wear gloves when working near the plant.
