The Aconitum (Monkshood) is a perennial that flowers in July and August.

Some rebloom in autumn, or have their primary bloom in September &
October, including the cultivar "Arendsii" & some other varieties bred
from A. carmichaelii fischeri.

It
is violet
blue, yellow or white in color and generally the shorter types, ie:

There are now pink cultivars too! I'm still waiting to see one that is
bright red.

"Bressingham Spire" do
not need to be staked. There are some varieties that reach 6 feet tall.
They all require
rich soil and plenty of shade to thrive.

Moderate shade is best; they can stand quite a lot of sun if watered
sufficiently. Some are stunted in full sun but still bloom well, while
others will grow to seven feet high in deep shade because they're
searching for more light, but expend so much energy seeking the sun they
bloom less well.
