Aconites prefer a light, woodland type soil. The site should be well-drained, cool and in partial shade. They first appear here and there in the sunniest spots, sometimes at the turn of the year, but soon become a carpet of pure golden yellow, just as the first snowdrops begin to bloom.

Plant bulbs approx. 4cm deep in small clumps of 4 - 12.

Featuring yellow blossoms that are somewhat buttercup-like and grow on 3 inch stems. They are ideal for borders, rock gardens, and to provide a touch of winter color in dormant perennial beds. Planted alongside the Hyemalis variety they can extend the flowering season due to their slightly later blooming.

Height 8 cm
Blooms Late January - Late March
