Creeping Buttercup Plant

The cheerful yellow flowers of the creeping buttercup make an eye-catching ground cover in any garden or lawn. This perennial plant is easy to set and forget–once it is established, it spreads rapidly to cover whole meadows with its golden glow, especially in wet climates where it thrives. The yellow buds bloom in spring and summer, but as a perennial, this plant is winter hardy and will return in full force with warmer weather. Its many green leaves and clumps of golden flowers make it an exciting, if wild, addition to your garden.
