Winter Aconite

Winter Aconite (Eranthis) - E. hyemalis is a pretty early plant with yellow flowers surrounded by a whorl of shining green. It is 3 to 8 inches high, and flowers from January to March. It is seen best in a half-wild state under trees or on banks in woody places, though it is occasionally worthy of a place among the earliest border flowers. It often naturalises itself freely in grass, and is very beautiful when the little yellow flowers peep out in early spring. We may therefore enjoy it without giving it positions suited for more delicate plants, or taking any trouble about it, but it is more vigorous on chalky or warm soils, and dwindles on some cold soils. E. cilicicus is a recent introduction of like stature and character, though distinct as a species, and of like value and hardiness.
