Cilicica
M5301
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.
