Wolf's-bane
Aconitum lycoctonum
Wolf's-bane is a stately perennial that produces tall spikes of pale yellow hooded flowers and thrives in partial shade with reliably moist, humus-rich soil. It is well-suited to woodland garden settings and cottage borders, requiring little intervention once established in the right conditions. Be aware that all parts of this plant are extremely toxic — always wear gloves when handling and keep it away from children and animals.
