Breath taking, what a beautiful surrounding for a church. Purchased some aconites this year for the early emerging bees, best in the green like snowdrops.
You're very welcome Ladybird, a sight to behold aren't they
Lyn and Mark - I bought a couple of aconites and got them straight in the ground. The lady said you can grow them from seed but it needs to be fresh. Think I'll try that.
If you are growing them from seed, then take it off the plants as soon as it will come off. Don't wait for it to turn brown, take it green. Sow immediately, cover lightly, keep moist and in a shady place. They take about 2 years to flower from seed.

How very beautiful. Thank you for sharing your pictures Fishy 65.
Lovely , I’ve put a few on the other site. I’ve never grown aconites.

Thank you for that tip Berghill, so very fresh then!!
Very fresh, do the same with primroses as well. Straight off soft and green.
