Eranthis hymnalis

Heralds of spring. 

Winter aconite. What a charmer. July flowering!  It is a native of European woods, and it will happily seed about, despite the seed taking a year to form a pair of seed leaves...  A bit of gravel or leaf mulch, their natural companion, will help keep them happy, perhaps in a a partly shaded rock garden, or in the woodland. Lovely under deciduous shrubs. Even in full sun in a well drained, humus rich soil.

"Unlike many of the other early bulbs, the Eranthis flowers are brave enough to face the sky, looking upwards to soak up any sunshine that we may get." Ian Young. These yellow butter balls open and close to match the weather. They self seed happily as long as you don't disturb them, they can come through quite a thick mulch.

 Should be three flowers per pot.
