Notes
'Boule d'Or' Persian buttercup (Ranunculus asiaticus 'Boule d'Or') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. The orange-yellow flowers open from early to late spring. Bees visit the blooms, so this is a good pick for a lively spring bed.
Pairs well with Labyrinth dahlia, Chervil, and Mondo grass.
