About
Ranunculus Gramineus Seeds for Gardens and Borders

Ranunculus gramineus, commonly called grass-leaf buttercup, is a compact, low-growing perennial native to European rock and alpine meadows. It forms tufts of narrow, grass-like green leaves with upright stems bearing lemon-yellow buttercup-style flowers in late spring and early summer. This charming species is ideal for borders, rock gardens, and naturalized plantings, adding delicate color and texture to the landscape while attracting bees and butterflies.
