Ranunculus scerelatus (Annual Buttercup)

(Ranunculaceae)

Charming annual with small, glossy yellow flowers. Common in wetland and riparian areas and can be included as a large component in self sustaining ponds. 

Deer, rabbit and rodent proof, they may nibble once but won't return. Recommend to plant in clusters of at least 12 with a couple inches in between each plant or in mass plantings along creeks and ponds. 

High concentration of toxin protoanemonin Ranunculus are known for. May cause slight skin blistering but I handle them bare handed without issue.

Contains appx. 250 seeds

Collected In: Summit County, Utah

Wild/Nursery: Nursery

Germination: 30 days cool-moist(36-40°) in a single paper towel then sprinkle into pots or cells and cover with a thin layer of sand. Keep this seed in the fridge around until you're ready to stratify.
