How to Grow and Care for Creeping Buttercup in Your Garden

Ranunculus Repens, or Creeping Buttercup Plant, is a beautiful herbaceous perennial that provides good ground cover and can be enjoyed year after year with very little maintenance. This low-maintenance flower is perfect for flower beds, lawns, and borders. For a seasonal flower patch, the plant is hearty enough to withstand regular mowing during the off-season when the flowers are dormant.

Benefits of Planting Creeping Buttercup for Ground Cover

Each plant will expand to a height of approximately 18 inches. Gorgeous yellow flowers will crown the thin stems for up to four months. The leaves of the plant are a luscious green with three hairy lobes. The plants will bloom in late spring and continue through summer from May to August, making them the perfect complement to both early and late bloomers to ensure beautiful flowers all year.

The Creeping Buttercup flowers are vivid yellow and are borne in small clusters. Each flower has five shiny overlapping petals and opens to a diameter of roughly 1 inch. They are very aromatic, which makes them a great addition to a bouquet and a terrific attractant to pollinators. Bees make for a healthy garden, which the plant will attract in droves!

Keeping the plants healthy requires little effort. They prefer full to partial sun. Though they do best in moist, loamy soil, they have been known to take root in almost any soil condition. From loam to heavy clay, they are prolific colonizers. Each fast-growing plant will spread to a diameter of roughly 3 feet. Given proper care, they will propagate naturally to fill whatever space the gardener desires. A wide range of habitats will allow this plant to thrive, and it is doing well in USDA hardiness zones 3-8.

Creeping Buttercup: Ideal Conditions and Growing Tips for Success

Perhaps best of all, Creeping Buttercups have natural pest-repellent properties. They are avoided by mammalian herbivores, but critters (such as pets) that make the mistake of consuming the plant will only experience stomach discomfort and no lasting poisonous effects.
