I am a landscape designer and have been purchasing 1000's of spring flowering bulbs from A.D.R. Bulbs for 100's of clients in the last 20 years. The bulbs have always been of top quality and if there were any problems, they have been quick to rectify. My orders are often complicated with many varieties and different amounts and they have always filled and delivered everything on time with the best customer care and attention to detail. The pictures in their catalog and website are beautiful. I have visited their facility in NY and was impressed with all their handling equipment and organization. I would highly recommend A.D.R. Bulbs to anyone in the wholesale trade who wants to purchase quality bulbs and work with genuinely nice people.

Eranthis Cilicica 'Winter Aconite'

Wolf's Bane

Eranthis cilicica, commonly known as Winter Aconite, reaches 3 to 4 inches tall, featuring bright yellow, cup-shaped blooms surrounded by a collar of deeply lobed green bracts. These cheerful flowers emerge in late winter, often pushing through snow, providing one of the earliest bursts of color in the garden.

Ideal for naturalizing, rock gardens, borders, and woodland settings, this variety thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers humus-rich, well-drained soil. It is deer-resistant and reliably returns year after year, forming dense carpets of golden blooms that brighten the landscape when little else is in flower.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Eranthis Cilicica 'Winter Aconite'

Planting: Plant tubers in fall, 2 to 3 inches deep and 3 to 4 inches apart. Soak dry tubers in water for 12–24 hours before planting to rehydrate. Choose a sheltered site with dappled shade—ideal under deciduous trees where early light reaches the soil.
Location: Prefers partial shade to full sun in cool climates. Naturalizes beautifully in woodland gardens, beneath shrubs, or along paths.
Soil: Moist, humus-rich, well-drained soil with a neutral to slightly alkaline pH (6.5–7.5). Avoid compacted or soggy areas.
Watering: Keep soil moist during active growth in late winter and early spring. Once dormant, they require no watering.
Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 4–9. No winter protection needed in most climates.
Fertilization: Apply compost or a balanced fertilizer in fall or early spring to support flowering.
Pruning: Allow foliage to die back naturally after blooming to replenish the tuber.
Propagation: Spreads by self-seeding and tuber division. Divide clumps in late spring after foliage fades.
Pest & Disease: Generally pest-free. Slugs may nibble young shoots; avoid overly wet conditions to prevent smut or rot.
