Plantainleaf buttercup
Ranunculus alismifolius
Plantainleaf buttercup is a delicate western North American native perennial that grows best in cool, moist meadow or streamside conditions with partial shade. It requires consistently wet soil and is best suited to bog gardens, pond margins, or moist native plant borders. This specialist wildflower produces cheerful yellow blooms in spring but needs careful attention to moisture levels to thrive outside its natural habitat.
