Eranthis hyemalis, winter aconites, provide a wonderfully cheerful carpet of bright buttercup yellow flowers in early spring, blooming almost overnight from their bed of ruffled green foliage.One of the first to bloom in spring, zingy bursts of colour bring a smile to your face. An early source of food for winter bees and other pollinators emerging from their winter sleep, winter aconites look fantastic when planted to naturalise beneath trees and bushes, or near the front of the border.Aconites are a member of the buttercup family, originating in shady, woodland areas of Eurasia. Clump-forming winter aconites prefer moist, humus-rich soil in full to part shade, reaching a height and spread of 10cm and needing little attention. Eranthis are wonderful when planted in flower borders, under-planting within a cottage or informal garden setting or tumbling over the edges of containers or over walls.
