'Guinea Gold' winter aconite (Eranthis hyemalis 'Guinea Gold') is a bulb for borders, rock gardens, winter interest, and naturalized drifts. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil. It forms a clump and bears fragrant flowers that bees visit. It sits low on the menu for deer. The blooms open in winter and carry into spring.
