Top Tip
When the foliage starts to yellow and die back at the end of the season, resist the urge to prune it. Allowing the plant to die back naturally enhances its energy levels, resulting in a wonderful display of flowers the following year.
How to Water
Water thoroughly when planting. After this, eranthis bulbs planted in the ground should only need to be watered during dry spells. Bulbs grown in pots and containers will need watering more regularly to prevent the soil from drying out.
How to Plant
In mid to late autumn, pick a spot in full sun or partial shade with well-draining soil and use a bulb planter or trowel to dig small holes around 5-10cm apart. Place one bulb in each hole at a depth of 3 times the bulb’s height. Ensure the pointed end faces upwards then backfill the hole, firm down, and water in well.
