Creeping Buttercup

Each plant will expand to a height of approximately 18 inches. Gorgeous yellow flowers will crown the thin stems for up to a full 4 months. The leaves of the plant are a luscious green with 3 hairy lobes. The plants will bloom in late spring and continue through summer from May to August, making them the perfect compliment to both early and late bloomers to ensure beautiful flowers all year long.

The Flowers are a vivid yellow, borne in small clusters. Each flower will have 5 shiny overlapping petals, and open to a diameter of roughly 1 inch. They are very aromatic, which makes them a great addition to a bouquet and a terrific attractant to pollinators. Bees make for a healthy garden, which the plant will attract in droves!

Keeping the plants 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 plant 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 plant to thrive, doing well in USDA hardiness zones 3-8.

Perhaps best of all, Creeping Buttercup has natural pest repellent properties. They are avoided by mammalian herbivores, but critters (such as pets) that make the mistake of consuming the plant will only experience stomach discomfort, and no lasting poisonous effects.
