When you say this plant is sterile I suppose it's because it is a cultivar,
because one can find everywhere seeds of eranthis hyemalis. By the way, I
never succeeded with the sowing too.

I bought Eranthus Guinea Gold at Paul Christian. I have had this plant for
about 4 years and the clump gets bigger every year. It was purchased as a
living corm with live roots. They are rare because they are sterile and the
corm must be divided. If somebody would do a tissue culture!
===>Thanks for the information, Frank. Many gardeners report failure with
eranthus (winter aconite) corms. My reading and experience with them
indicates that planting the living corm with roots rather than the dormant
corm in the fall is the only way to ensure success.
