Winter Aconites produce a bright display of golden yellow buttercup-like flowers, surrounded by divided leafy bracts, from February to April. An efficient ground cover plant, it quickly spreads and makes a dramatic yellow carpet just as the first snowdrops begin to bloom. It’s perfect for planting beneath trees or naturalising in grass.
Combine with snowdrops and fritillaries for a wonderful effect. Can also be planted in containers. Dies back underground to tubers over summer and shoots again the following winter.
Awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
A useful early food source for bees.
Provided in a 9cm pot, these can be planted at any time of the year.
