Cheerful buttercup flowers upon monkshood-like foliage.

Bright buttercup-yellow flowers each with a frilly green collar which opens bronzy. Very similar to Eranthis hyemalis but slightly earlier, leaves less deeply dissected. Good naturalized under deciduous trees and shrubs, can spread by seed.

Prefers slightly alkaline, humusy moist soil in sun or dappled shade. Tolerant of frosts and late snows. Soak corms in tepid water for 8–12 hours before planting.

2–4" tall. Very Early Spring blooms, Z5-7. 4cm/up corms.

Items from our perennial plants warehouse will ship around September 30 through October.

Novelties and Specialties

The Royal General Bulbgrowers Association in Holland (Koninklijke Algemeene Vereeniging voor Bloembollencultuur, or KAVB) puts this large group of diverse flowers into a boring catch-all category: Miscellaneous Bulbs. The expensive catalogs call them accent bulbs; some call them minor or dwarf bulbs (even though some of the fritillaries are huge!); Louise Beebe Wilder covered most of them in her 1936 classic Adventures with Hardy Bulbs. Whatever you call them, most are sweet, colorful, and completely welcome in spring.
