Also often grown in all the best gardens so no need to remove it unless you have someone who might try to eat it or suspect someone close of murderous intentions 😉

It would be a real shame to remove it as it is a beautiful plant. As has been said many times on the forum, if we were to remove all the poisonous plants from our gardens we wouldn't have flower gardens. Think how empty a spring garden would be without daffodils - which, like the monkshood, are also poisonous.

I'd echo what the others are saying - don't remove unless you feel it's absolutely necessary. Youcan always move it to a 'quieter' spot if you're worried.
There's a lovely stand of it near me - right by the pavement in the corner of a garden. I've been admiring it recently, each time I walk past it. Not noticed any dead bodies lying beside it either
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I love Aconitum, one of the best plants you can have for the bees, who eats their plants, apart from home grown veg? I sow them from seed, prick out, pot on , plant out, still here.

Please don't become paranoid. Caution is good, Paranoia isn't.
