Sagebrush buttercup is a low-growing native wildflower best suited to rock gardens and naturalized settings in the western United States. It prefers partial shade and consistently moist, well-drained soil, especially during its early spring blooming period. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely, as this plant is not drought tolerant.
