It features striking, large yellow buttercup-like flowers atop tall, slender stems that can reach 90–120 cm in height. The plant has narrow, lance-shaped leaves and thrives in shallow water or consistently moist soils, making it ideal for natural ponds and rain gardens. 'Grandiflora' is noted for its larger flowers compared to the wild type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"827\" data-end=\"844\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"827\" data-end=\"842\"\u003eCare Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"845\" data-end=\"1137\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"845\" data-end=\"871\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"847\" data-end=\"871\"\u003eFull sun to part shade\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"872\" data-end=\"945\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"874\" data-end=\"945\"\u003eGrows best in shallow standing water (up to 10 cm) or very moist soil\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"946\" data-end=\"1012\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"948\" data-end=\"1012\"\u003eHardy to Zone 5 and often used in pond margins and bog gardens\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1013\" data-end=\"1065\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1015\" data-end=\"1065\"\u003eCan spread by rhizomes, forming clumps over time\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1066\" data-end=\"1137\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1068\" data-end=\"1137\"\u003eLow maintenance once established; cut back in late autumn if needed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1139\" data-end=\"1165\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1139\" data-end=\"1163\"\u003eInteresting Tidbits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1166\" data-end=\"1522\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1166\" data-end=\"1262\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1168\" data-end=\"1262\"\u003eThe name \u003cem data-start=\"1177\" data-end=\"1189\"\u003eRanunculus\u003c\/em\u003e means \"little frog\" in Latin, referring to its typical wetland habitat\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1263\" data-end=\"1320\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1265\" data-end=\"1320\"\u003eAttractive to pollinators such as bees and hoverflies\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1321\" data-end=\"1415\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1323\" data-end=\"1415\"\u003eWhile beautiful, many \u003cem data-start=\"1345\" data-end=\"1357\"\u003eRanunculus\u003c\/em\u003e species contain compounds that can be toxic if ingested\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1416\" data-end=\"1522\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1418\" data-end=\"1522\"\u003eAdds a bright, cheerful pop of yellow to water features and is great for naturalistic planting schemes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/www.scottsnurseryonline.com\/collections\/aquatic-water-buttercup.oembed","provider":"Scott's Nursery Ltd.
