Chocolate brown tinted new leaves turn to green with the double yellow flowers nestled in a ruff of green bracts in early to mid spring. Good woodland soil in light shade, under deciduous trees is ideal. 15cm.
Exquisite double flowers with larger outer sepals and many rows of neat, pointed, smaller ones filling in the middle in the usual clear yellow. A spring ephemeral for drained soil in part shade. 15cm.
The unusual, slower growing, multi-petalled form. It would be over enthusiastic to call it double but it does have lots of extra petals giving a much more full look. Otherwise just like the species.
