PerennialHeritage Perennial Profile

Here's the complete description for this Heritage Perennial. Drop in any time to see the rest of our collection.

 Plant Number: 1.451.100USDA Zone: 4 - 9 
Ranunculus repens var. pleniflorus
Common name :  Double Creeping Buttercup
Creeping Buttercup is a vigorous, spreading plant that is particularly well-suited to growing in sunny, wet areas. Plants form a thick mat of shiny, bright green ferny leaves, bearing small double bright-yellow buttercups beginning in late spring. Stems creep along the ground and root in where they touch. Adapts well to containers, and these can be allowed to sit in a garden pond or saucer of water so they remain constantly moist. Flowers are nice for cutting. This plant is a little too aggressive to allow into most perennial borders. Clumps are easily divided in spring or fall.
