Ranunculus alismifolius var. montanus var. montanus
Mountain plantain-leaved buttercup is a delicate alpine perennial that prefers moist, cool conditions with partial shade, mimicking its native mountain meadow habitat. Keep the soil consistently moist and plant in a humus-rich, well-drained location to encourage cheerful yellow blooms. This plant is best suited to rock gardens or naturalized alpine plantings rather than general home gardens.
