Eranthis x tubergenii Bowles 'Guinea Gold' . Bright yellow flowers, larger and longer-lasting than usual and fragrant, bloom in March-April above a collar of deeply incised bracts. This is the famous beauty raised by the Dutch nurseryman J.M.C. Hoog, a cross of E. hyemalis and E. cilicica. The two species are sometimes treated as synonyms; nonetheless this plant is sterile. More and more flowering stems arise as the tuber enlarges, but it multiplies only by division. Height 10-15 cm (4-6"). Zone 5. Not available this season. |
