Ranunculus acris, commonly known as Meadow Buttercup, is a perennial plant that stands out as the tallest and most graceful among our familiar buttercups, sometimes reaching an impressive height of 90cm. What sets it apart from the pervasive Creeping Buttercup is primarily observed in its lower leaves. While both plants feature leaves deeply cut into lobes (typically five in Meadow Buttercup and three in Creeping Buttercup), the distinguishing factor lies in Creeping Buttercup’s stalked middle lobes. Contrasting with both species, Bulbous Buttercup, another common buttercup variant, can be identified by its sepals that turn downward (as depicted in the Bulbous Buttercup photograph). The Meadow Buttercup blooms from April to October, adding vibrancy to its distinguishing features.

Sowing & Growing
Meadow Buttercup seeds can be directly scattered amidst established meadow grasses or cultivated in trays of compost during the spring or autumn. Afterward, the seedlings can be delicately transplanted and nurtured for subsequent planting later in the year. With favourable conditions, once Meadow Buttercup plants take root, they exhibit a propensity for self-seeding, contributing to their ongoing proliferation.
