Bright Golden Flowers Of The Creeping Buttercup

This plant produces small, delicate flowers in the spring and summer seasons. When suitable conditions are present, the flowers may also last through the early autumn months. The flowers grow on dense, sturdy, lightly grooved stems, adding character to their design.

The yellow flowers are fragrant and glossy with substantial amounts of pollen. These traits attract abundant pollinators to the environment, including flies, bees, and fluttering butterflies. These pollinators promote the health of other plants that rely on them as part of their reproductive processes. In addition, the pollinators attracted by the pollinators bring different types of wildlife to your yard, including birds and leafhoppers.

Fast Growth 

This plant can deliver results quickly in areas of your yard that desperately need vegetation and color. It proliferates by shooting off a dense, fast-growing network of runners and roots. This plant grows well in many yards and pastures and can withstand drought well.

The glossy petals naturally reflect light, creating a stunning, radiant look in your space. The flowers' reflection also supports the plant's reproductive process and aids in attracting wildlife to the space.

Spreads Easily

 They spread through stolons, which take root while growing in the soil. Since their foliage and flowers grow quickly, they are ideal for use as ground cover.

 Creeping buttercups are among the easiest plants to grow since they do not need much attention. They only need frequent watering and low pruning to maintain their vibrant appearance.

Their bright and dazzling yellow flowers bloom from late spring to early summer, and their long flowering period makes them an ideal choice to beautify your garden.

 The flowers attract pollinating insects, including bees and butterflies. By promoting local systems, they can improve the biodiversity of any garden

Plant Reproduction

Creeping buttercups spreads by seed and by long runners called stolons.

Planting bare-root perennials is best in any season if they are dormant; we only sell dormant plants. Planting them year-round is also excellent if you can get dormant perennials. When your bare-root perennials arrive, soak the roots in water for a few hours to rehydrate them. Lant by digging a hole wide enough to spread the roots comfortably and deep enough to place the top portion crown (where the roots meet the stem) at or slightly above ground level. Position the plant in the hole, backfill with native soil, and gently firm the soil around the roots—water well after planting to settle the soil around the plant and eliminate air. Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch to keep weeds at bay and moisture locked in, keeping the mulch away from the crown. Irrigate plants regularly during the first few weeks of drought; never water in full sun, and water late in the evenings to ensure the roots are established well. Fertilize sparingly in the first year, using a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in subsequent years as needed.
