This native swamp buttercup variety thrives in moist to wet soils and is ideal for rain gardens, pond margins, or woodland edges in the eastern Midwest. It grows vigorously in partial shade and requires consistently moist conditions to perform well. It is not suited to dry or indoor environments and works best in naturalized plantings.
