2736 - AlpenPix (Wild) - 2010-11-30 (Dimension: 1925 x 3058 pixels - Counter: 7393) Aconitum columbianum Locality: USA - Colorado - Wetlands in Peak 7 area, Breckenridge, Colorado, at 9,800 feet. Photographer: Jane Hendrix Note: Aconitum columbianum grows to a height of 48 inches in the wild, preferring wet, boggy soil in full sun to light shade. It is easy to grow in a cultivated garden in ordinary soil, producing multiple flower stalks with many more flowers per plant than in the wild. It self-sows gently and does not become a pest.
