Eranthis cilicica, otherwise known as "Winter Aconites", have stunning, buttery yellow flowers contrasted against rich bronze foliage, and are excellent for naturalising.

Ideal for adding to wooded areas, Eranthis cilicica take advantage of the last rays of sunshine before the heat of summer sets in.
Eranthis cilicica bulbs are suitable for planting into any soil type, provided it is not overly saturated with water. They thrive in temperate, shady woodland environments. This flower should be planted between September and December and the flowers will come up between February and March.

The ideal time to plant spring flowering bulbs like tulips, daffodils, crocus, and snowdrops is from September to November. Planting during this period allows bulbs to establish roots before winter and ensures a healthy, vibrant bloom in early spring, with stunning green foliage and flower colours ranging from purple and blue to bright yellows and whites.
Most spring bulbs planted in autumn start to flower between February and May, depending on the type. Early bloomers like snowdrops and crocus appear first, while tulips and daffodils follow later in spring, creating a sequential display of colour.
