Ranunculus ficaria
The following cultivars make a valuable contribution to the late-winter and spring garden. Most form clumps with attractive glossy heart-shaped foliage at ground level in some cases beautifully marked with silver or purple which provides a nice foil for the cheerful bright little flowers in spring. Although they do best in moist semi-shade, they are fairly tolerant and look good grown under the canopy of deciduous trees or shrubs. Dormant summer and autumn.
