Year-RoundRanunculus repens, commonly known as creeping buttercup, is a low-growing, perennial herbaceous plant with bright yellow, glossy flowers and deeply lobed leaves. It is a flowering perennial plant that can offer various landscaping benefits. Its deep golden flowers and lush green foliage make it a favored option for adding graphic appeal to gardens, lawns, and outdoor spaces.
While Ranunculus Repens is often sold by its scientific name, many gardeners know this beautiful flower called creeping buttercup. Initially, this yellow flower was native to Europe, northwestern Africa, and Asia. Because of its incredible beauty, it has gradually spread to home gardens throughout the world.
One of the biggest reasons gardens love it is its golden flower. The glossy petals are popular among pollinators, so these flowers are excellent for a butterfly or hummingbird garden. Because bees are so important in local environments, its ability to attract bees can help improve your garden's health.
Unlike some flowers, they will tolerate many different environments and ecosystems. It tends to prefer moist areas, so you are likelier to find it next to streams and ponds. However, you can find it in many locations because of its adaptability. Often, you will see them in riverbanks, meadows, and woodlands.
Once this flower takes hold, it creeps along the ground, making a dense mat of gorgeous green leaves. Famous for its hardiness, this plant is also incredibly low maintenance. This flower is a favorite in garden beds thanks to its ease and adaptability.
As a low-growing plant, this plant only grows 8 to 12 inches tall. It is a perennial herbaceous plant, so you don’t have to replant it yearly. Once the deep, lobed leaves develop, you can enjoy lush foliage for many months.
Typically, gardeners incorporate this plant into their landscapes because it is good as a groundcover. This perennial can push weeds out because it can quickly fill up an empty space. Unlike more delicate flowers, it also competes well against existing weeds.
With Ranunculus Repens, you can quickly transform a landscape design. The cheery flowers form a striking contrast with the plant’s verdant foliage. Thanks to its ground-covering ability, it can quickly take root in your home garden or professional landscape.

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.
