Eranthis (Winter Aconite): Early Gold for Woodland Gardens

Planting the Tiny Tubers

Soak overnight before planting.
Plant 1 inch deep, 2 inches apart (15–20 per sq ft).
Site in humus-rich, woodland conditions.

Tubers don’t store well—plant immediately upon receipt. They take several years to settle in and bloom abundantly, but the late-winter carpet of golden buttercups is worth the patience.
