ADONIS. Pheasant’s Eye. (Ranunculaceae, Buttercup Family) 
Adonis vernalis. (Formerly listed as A. pyranaica). Really an exceptional plant that 
deserves special notice. In the bleak days of February this Herald of Spring begins 
to show its golden color and with each succeeding warm spell the flowers get bigger 
and brighter. Alternate freezing and thawing does not injure the blossoms. In 
March and April the plant is a mass of golden, multi-rayed flowers about 3 inches 
in diameter, carried on short stems over delicate ferny foliage that forms an 
attractive clump about 12 inches high. This remarkable plant is in bloom from 
February to May and in June the foliage disappears completely. It does well in sun 
or semi-shade and in a rich garden loam that is slightly acid. (Ph. 6-7). Fall planting 
is recommended but our plants are potted and can be handled in Spring.
