Winter Aconite Eranthis hyemalis

One of the first flowers to appear in the spring, the winter aconite's small yellow flowers can be seen between January and March. 

Winter aconites have short stalks and tuberous roots and prefer the humus-rich moist soils of deciduous woodlands.  They make a good companion plant for snowdrops and wood anemones.

Spring wildflower bulbs 'in the green' are supplied when they are actively growing. This can be a more reliable way to transplant species such as bluebells, aconites and snowdrops, and for all wildflower bulb species the plants can be more quickly and easily established than from dormant bulbs planted in autumn. Wildflower bulbs in the green can be easier to plant as it is clear where the bulbs have been planted.  In most cases, the plants will flower the following spring.

Our wildflower and meadow bulbs are grown in the UK from British plants.
