The Large Buttercup is a stunning clumping perennial that showcases lovely, yellow, fragrant, cup-shaped flowers. Its long-stalked blooms appear semi-doubled, adding a charming touch to your garden. The stems can reach about one foot tall or stretch to three feet long while gently reclining. You’ll notice its stem leaves are densely hairy and beautifully cleft, complemented by an attractive arrangement of basal leaves that are divided into delightful leaflets.
It’s one of the largest native buttercups, making it a standout in any landscape! With its gorgeous butter-yellow flowers and lush foliage, this plant is sure to catch your eye as it attracts curious bees and butterflies around it. The Large Buttercup thrives best in moist soil, making it perfectly suitable for both gardens and natural settings.
A little note of caution: while all parts of this plant are considered poisonous, it has low toxicity when consumed and can cause slight skin irritation if touched. So, while admiring its beauty, just be mindful.
