Straightbeak Buttercup (Seeds)

Ranunculus orthorhynchus This showy wildflower is a close relative of western buttercup (Ranunculus occidentalis) but with a more upright tufted growth habit, a slightly taller stature, and larger flowers that come on a little later in the spring season. The cheerful blooms are shiny, bright yellow and long-lasting, giving pollinators ample time to forage to their hearts content. As flowers age, they often sport a reddish wash on the underside/outside of each petal...a very subtle, yet beautiful accent. Plant type/canopy layer: deciduous, perennial, herbaceous plant Size at maturity: 12-24" tall, 12-24" wide Light requirements: full sun Moisture requirements: moist to wet soil Growth rate/ease: fast growing, easy to grow Bloom time: mid-late spring Native range: most often associated with wetter and boggy areas in moist/wet prairies, marshes, meadows and forest edges, across western North America from Alaska to California to Utah, but can be found in a variety of habitats
