Aconitum Lycoctonum Var. Gmelinii

Aconitum lycoctonum var. gmelinii is a striking member of the buttercup family known for its vibrant blue to purple flowers. Native to the mountainous regions of Central Asia, this plant thrives in cool, moist environments. Its toxic alkaloids make it both dangerous and fascinating to botanists and horticulturists alike. Despite its harmful properties, it is highly valued for its ornamental beauty in gardens. This variety is often mistaken for other aconite species due to its similar appearance.
