Eranthis Cilicica
M5301
Description
The golden, buttercup-like blooms of Eranthis ‘Cilicica’ are a welcome sight, introducing a pop of cheerful colour to the garden, during the darkest months of the year.
Winter aconites flower during January and February, producing valuable, colourful groundcover. These sunny gems thrive in areas of dappled shade, in moist, fertile soil and will multiply easily beneath the ground.
Eranthis ‘Cilicica’ produces finely cut, attractive bronzed-yellow foliage and flowers slightly later than the popular, more commonly seen cultivar ‘Hyemalis’
Plant the corms amongst Snowdrops and Crocus for a charming, late winter tapestry, blooming beneath mature trees or in a woodland border.
Care Guide
(Winter Aconite) Aconites spread by self-seeding, forming thickly populated colonies.
They are happy in any well-drained soil; best position is under deciduous trees and shrubs where the low angle winter sun can penetrate beneath the branches.
The small tubers should be planted 4cm (1½”) deep, 5-8cm (2-3”) apart.
