Aconitum hemsleyanum-- the climbing Monkshood

Hi, folks. Anyone ever try this plant here? I've seen it listed as zones 7-9 but also 5-8. The cultivar "Red Wine" strikes me a particularly handsome. Gary

    I have tried seed, but was not successful germinating them via wontersowing.

    Thanks, Rick. Where did you come by the seed? I've had a few successes with aconitum and also dictamnus, both of which require alternate periods of cold and warm (that's certainly true of dictamnus, I'm not sure about aconitum without double-checking). Gary

    A seed trader wanted some seeds I had, and she had hemsleyanum. I try to keep meticulous records concerning this stuff, but somehow it is slipped through a crack.
