Heirloom Seeds
Winter Aconite
Latin Name:
Eranthis hyemalisGrowing to just 13cm (5in) tall, it spreads up to 10cm (4in) it begs to be grown en masse, preferably somewhere that gets the morning sun. These buttercup relatives spread their sunny goblet flowers in woodland borders in early spring. In fact, for many gardeners, they’re the spring season’s first flower.
Sow seeds IMMEDIATELY you receive them, at any time of the year, they depend on having several months in cold, damp compost, (NOT DRY IN A FRIDGE) before they will germinate. Keep the seed tray moist in a cold greenhouse or shady corner. These fresh seeds can be very slow to germinate. Do not use any artificial heat in an attempt to germinate them as it may cause them to enter even deeper dormancy.

These flowers always looked great and I finally found someone who can provide the seeds. They do take some time to germinate but large yellow buttercup beds are inevitable by the following early spring. Would definitely recommend
