I saw a recommendation recently to use Eranthis as a spring flower in lawns, as it was largely over before any mowing was likely. I have only seen it in grass in very large numbers in Welford Park, in the Lambourne Valley in the UK http://www.worldisround.com/articles/10902/photo66.html Usually it is grown as a light woodland plant and even here it is largely under mature trees. But the question is in view of its toxicity, in a domestic situation, how is it with pets? I would like to try it as it is so easy to grow from fresh seed but am concerned about dogs bruising the leaves and cleaning their paws, and maybe later eating the seed if it is not mown off before it sheds. Anyone with pets tried it? Brian Whyer, Buckinghamshire, England, zone ~8
