Then the winter acconite behaves a little bit like the celendine and wood anemone?

    Is it likely I could get acconites to grow where celendine and anemone grow; where, how does one get hold of the necessary propagation material?

    I have some of these in my garden, but in the still chilly and not very sunny Central Belt of Scotland, they're not yet in flower. Looking forward to when they do.

    My aconites haven't shown up yet. I bought them in the green some years ago and they usually give a good show before the celandines. Their are two species, one a creamier yellow than the other, but both easy to obtain, Tinkerbell, I recommend Eurobulbs who do mail order.

    Hi,

    Is this flower available in a Florist Supplies shop?

    Are these plants prone to weeds or is weed control quite easy with aconites?

    No trouble with weeds as they are in bloom before the annual weeds show and perennials should be dug out before you plant them. They do seem to like the same conditions as snowdrops.

    I see one of these in our churchyard among the snowdrops and wondered what it was.Just the one little yellow flower.

    I miss the weekly programmes of Gardener's World very much. Carol Klein gave us an idea of what gardens can be like.
    I particularly miss the practical tips given by Monty Don or Alan Titchmarsh.
    Hoping that these programmes will restart soon.

    Yours
