Ranunculus acris, commonly known as meadow buttercup, is a bright and cheerful perennial that adds a splash of yellow to meadows, wildflower gardens, and borders. With its glossy, cup-shaped flowers and deeply lobed leaves, this plant blooms from late spring through summer and sometimes into autumn, creating a vibrant, natural display. This hardy wildflower thrives in moist, well-drained soil and prefers full sun to partial shade, making it versatile for various garden conditions. Its tall, slender stems can grow up to 90cm high, swaying gracefully in the breeze and adding height and movement to garden beds. Ranunculus acris is not only visually appealing but also valuable for wildlife. Its bright yellow blooms attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, supporting local biodiversity. Low-maintenance and resilient, this plant is an excellent choice for naturalizing in open spaces, adding both beauty and ecological value to your garden. Bring a burst of sunshine with Ranunculus acris and watch your garden thrive.
