Wolfsbane Hardy herbaceous perennial. Native to central Europe. One of the major “drugs of antiquity,” bright purple, with hood-shaped flowers protecting profusely productive nectaries. Absolutely stunning. The entire plant, including root, herb and seed, is toxic if taken in sufficient dosage. Plant prefers part to full shade and evenly moist soils. I have mine growing within a few feet of Munger's Creek, and the display is stunning in season. Sow the seeds in the fall for germination in the spring...
