Hairy Buttercup Plant

The Hair Buttercup plant is an adorable yellow blossom atop a mess of green leaves. The stem is sturdy and tall, with multiple branches covered in thick, white hairs. The leaves are thin with multiple leaflets, creating a lacy effect in their foliage. The flowers themselves have five petals and five, relaxed sepals which curve back from the petals and point downwards. The unique sepal position is a good way to distinguish this plant from its Ranunculus siblings. Unlike the Creeping Buttercup, these hairy flowers have no stolons, horizontal stems that grow above the soil. Instead of pushing out new buds along the ground, this plant grows straight up.
