Amur Adonis (Adonis amurensis) is an early season ephemeral plant that appears and disappears in the late-winter garden in a matter of weeks. The plant’s foliage is lacy and ferny.

It is native to China along the Amur River and in other parts of Asia as well as eastern Siberia. Even though it is quite small, it still packs a punch with its bright-yellow flowers in the bleak winter landscape like its cousin in the Ranunculus family Winter Aconite.

It is hardy to USDA zones 4 to 7. It prefers to grow in full- to part-sun and likes fertile, well-drained soils.

It is pollinated by bees, flies, and beetles. It is deer-resistant.

There is an invasive look-a-like: Lesser Celandine (Ficaria verna). However, that plant blooms later in the season and does not have the ferny foliage that Amur Adonis does.

Amur Adonis is a popular rock garden plant and several cultivars have been bred in Japan.
