FAQ about Buttercup – White

Where does the buttercup grow best?
The meadow buttercup thrives in sun or light shade in moist, fertile soil, such as meadows, pastures and lawns. It tolerates most soil types but prefers soil that does not dry out.
When does the buttercup flower?
The buttercup flowers from late spring through summer, with glossy, cup-shaped flowers on branching stems 30-80 cm tall.
Is the buttercup poisonous?
Yes. The fresh plant contains protoanemonin, which irritates the mouth and stomach and can cause skin irritation. Grazing animals usually avoid it, and it becomes harmless once dried in hay. Keep pets from chewing the plant and wear gloves if you have sensitive skin.
Does the buttercup spread in the garden?
The meadow buttercup forms clumps and spreads mainly by seed, unlike its relative the creeping buttercup, which spreads by runners. Deadhead before the seed ripens if you want to limit self-seeding.
Can buttercups be used in a bouquet?
Yes, buttercups make charming, rustic arrangements with other meadow flowers. Pick them when the flowers have just opened and put them straight into water, and they will last about four to five days in the vase. Wash your hands after handling them.
