Winter Aconite (Eranthis hyemalis) is a hardy, early-flowering wildflower with bright yellow, buttercup-like blooms. Ideal for woodland gardens and borders, it thrives in shaded, moist soil and naturalises to create golden carpets in late winter.
We process and dispatch orders promptly and keep you informed throughout the delivery process.
Winter Aconite (Eranthis hyemalis) is one of the earliest flowering plants of the year, bursting into brilliant yellow bloom even before snowdrops. These cheerful buttercup-like flowers bloom low to the ground and create golden carpets across the garden. Winter Aconites thrive in moist, well-drained soil and are perfect for planting in shaded or partially shaded areas.
Ideal for naturalising, Winter Aconite bulbs multiply over time to create striking, low-maintenance displays. Plant them in the autumn while dormant, and they will bring reliable colour to your garden in late winter and early spring—often pushing through snow to signal the new growing season.
