Creeping Buttercup Plants

Ranunculus Repens, or Creeping Buttercup Plants, are a beautiful herbaceous perennial that requires little maintenance and is enjoyed yearly. It provides good ground cover and is perfect for flower beds, lawns, and borders. For a seasonal flower patch, it is hard enough to withstand regular mowing when the flowers are dormant during the off-season.

Creeping Buttercup Plants Have Stunning Golden Blooms

Gorgeous yellow flowers crown the thin stems for up to four months. The leaves are luscious green with three hairy lobes. They will bloom in late spring and continue through summer from May to August, making them the perfect complement to both early and late bloomers to ensure beautiful flowers all year.

The Flowers are vivid yellow and grow in small clusters. Each flower has five shiny overlapping petals and opens to a diameter of roughly 1 inch. They are very aromatic, which makes them a great addition to a bouquet and an excellent attractant to pollinators. Bees make for a healthy garden, which the Creeping Buttercup Plant will attract in droves!

This Perennial Thrives With No Effort 

Keeping them healthy requires little effort. They prefer full to partial sun. Though they do best in moist, loamy soil, they have been known to take root in almost any soil condition. From loam to heavy clay, they are prolific colonizers.

Each fast-growing type will spread to a diameter of roughly 3 feet. Given proper care, they will propagate naturally to fill whatever space the gardener desires. A wide range of habitats will allow this type to thrive, and it is doing well in U.S.D.A. hardiness zones 3-8.

It Has Pest-Repellent Properties

The Creeping buttercup plants have natural pest-repellent properties. Mammalian herbivores avoid it, but critters (such as pets) who mistakenly consume it will only experience stomach discomfort and no lasting poisonous effects.
