• Question

  Are there species of Aconitum growing wild around Springfield, Hampden County, Massachusetts that you know of? I grow some in my garden, but this plant was about a mile away so I know it isn't from my seeds.

  Answer

  Dear Aconitum@Grower, there are species of Aconitum that grow in the western part of the MA, but they have not necessarily been observed growing wild in Hampden County. Aconitum napellus, for example, is known from Berkshire and Worcester Counties as growing outside of cultivation. I hope this helps. Best wishes.
