Insights
Originating from damp and shady woodland in Eurasia, it is wonderful planted in swathes under trees or shrubs, bringing colour into the late winter garden. This variety blooms slightly later than Eranthis Hyemalis. A fantastic early food source for bees and other pollinators waking after winter.
