One of the last plants to flower in my garden: Aconitum x carmichaelii 'Arendsii', or monkshood. It's been suggested as an easier-to-grow alternative to Delphiniums and that's been true for me, although monkshood doesn't come in true blue but mostly purple or lavender. Low maintenance, light shade tolerant, very easy. Handle with gloves and keep away from pets and kids though, it's quite toxic.

A tall herbaceous flower in a garden bed. The leaves are light green and palmate and the flowers above them are clusters of purple blooms. The day is bright and sunny and the late afternoon light is golden. In front is a tall purplish grass like plant. Beyond is an evergreen tree.
Closer view of the blooms from the previous photo. Each is shaped like a hood from a sweatshirt.
Another closeup view of the monkshood flowers.
Very close view of a bloom showing the velvety texture of the flowers and the delicate veining on n them.
