Eranthis (F)
Hardy to Zone 4
Winter Aconite
Plant as early in the fall as possible, as they often start blooming in late winter. Soak the tubers in water overnight before planting. Plant in part shade and rich, moist soil, 2"-3" deep and 2"-4" apart. Spreading quickly by seeds and roots, they form large colonies. A mulch of leaf mold or compost encourages more rapid spreading. Dislikes disturbance.
