Eranthis cilicica
The Winter aconite - Eranthis cilicica - is a fascinating plant that will delight any garden in winter with its bright yellow flowers. With a height of about 10 to 15 cm, this hardy bulbous bloomer is perfect for borders, rock gardens and even as ground cover under trees. The winter bulb is particularly distinguished by its early flowering. Already in February, when the garden is still in hibernation, its bright yellow flowers shine and provide a touch of colour and spring. The winter bulb is not only a beautiful ornamental plant, but also an important food source for bees and other insects in winter.

- Plant the flower bulbs in the hole with the pointed side facing up or with the root base facing down.
