Re: ACONITUMS

Hello Ann,
    You do not name the species of Aconitum you grew from seed. They bloom
at different periods to time... anywhere from June through October around
here. This is the year you should see blooms on your seedlings if they are
happy.
    Aconitums generally take two years to germinate (sometimes one), another
three to bloom size. (This is a general statement... there are exceptions to
very situation). Now you know why Aconitums generally have a bit of a price
on them if they are bloom size plants at the nursery. Most are field grown
divisions in today's market, but still on the pricey side.
