Ranunculus ficaria - Cultivation Notes
This low growing native produces a carpet of yellow blossom in the spring, but my advice is don't plant it! that said if you have celandine in your garden already then congratulations, its attractive, its native and might get about but its short enough to live with and it loves moist shade which is a bonus!
