Aconite-leaf buttercup is a charming European wildflower that thrives in moist, partially shaded spots such as stream banks or woodland garden borders. Keep the soil consistently moist and avoid allowing it to dry out, particularly during the growing season. It pairs beautifully with ferns and other shade-tolerant perennials in a naturalistic cottage garden.
