Description

This plant is a great spring-summer "bulb". You get more "bang for the buck" with Ranunculus. It can be grown from seed and naturalizes in mild climates. The odd-looking rhizome is planted "toes-down". Ranunculus ficaria is invasive in this region. Other varieties are better to use.

Water Saving Tip:

Apply a layer of mulch around plants to reduce moisture loss.

Organic mulches, such as shredded bark, compost or aged sawdust will also break down and improve the soil.
