?? Eranthis cilicica (10 bulbs) – Golden awakening under the snow ? Proposed by Van Noort
Eranthis cilicica , also called winter helleborine , appears at the first hint of warmth at the end of February. It displays its small golden yellow flowers on a collar of chiseled green foliage, like small cups of light raised at ground level, still cold.
Earlier and more delicate than other varieties, this species originating from the Anatolian mountains prefers cool, semi-shaded corners , where it gradually forms pretty, luminous carpets. It evokes the first awakenings of the garden , with its frank, joyful and natural flowering. A miniature bulb , with a discreet but dazzling grace , perfect for opening the dance of spring blooms.
