How to Propagate Aconitum uncinatum
The hooked monkshood, a midnight-blue beacon in the late summer garden, whispers a seductive promise: propagation. But this beauty is guarded. Seeds, stubbornly dormant, offer little hope. Yet, the soft, yielding stems of early summer plead for a different approach. With precise cuts, a rooting hormone’s kiss, and a humid embrace, the cuttings hold their breath, a silent prayer for life. The rewards? Clones, mirroring the parent’s regal bearing – a triumph hard-won, a testament to careful hands and patient hearts. The dark blue flowers of success, a breathtaking reward for the dedicated gardener.
