Uses

Traditionally associated with analgesic, sedative, and diaphoretic properties. This plant is extremely poisonous and should only be used with the utmost caution and under the guidance of a qualified practitioner.

Folklore

Shrouded in myth and mystery, Monkshood has been both feared and revered. It was said to have sprung from the drool of Cerberus, the three-headed guardian of the underworld. Closely linked to Hecate, Greek goddess of witchcraft and crossroads, Monkshood has a long history of use in protective magic and deadly potions alike.

Growing Information

Thrives in moist, humus-rich soil in partial shade. In cooler climates, it can tolerate full sun, provided the soil remains consistently moist. Ideal for woodland gardens or borders where its vertical spikes can shine.
