About this Plant

Description:
Ranunculus flammula is a low-growing plant that forms dense mats or spreads via creeping stems. It typically reaches a height of about 6-12 inches (15-30 cm) and spreads to form a carpet-like ground cover. The leaves are bright green, glossy, and divided into several lobes. The flowers are small and bright yellow, consisting of five petals that surround a central cluster of yellow stamens. The flowers are produced in clusters or loose spikes from late spring to summer.

Care Guide:

Lighting: Ranunculus flammula prefers full to partial sun. It can tolerate some shade, especially in regions with hot summers, but it will flower best in a location with at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight per day.

Water: This plant prefers consistently moist soil. It thrives in wetland habitats, including damp meadows, stream banks, and marshy areas. If growing in a garden, provide regular watering to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Avoid allowing the soil to dry out completely.

Soil: Lesser Spearwort prefers rich, loamy soil that retains moisture. It can tolerate a range of soil types, including clay, but it does best in soil that is well-draining and has organic matter added to it. Ensure good soil drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions.

Temperature: Ranunculus flammula is hardy in USDA hardiness zones 4-9. It can withstand cold temperatures and freezing winters. In regions with hot summers, providing some afternoon shade can help protect the plant from excessive heat stress.

Maintenance: This plant is relatively low-maintenance. Remove any dead or yellowing leaves to maintain a tidy appearance. It may benefit from occasional light pruning to control its spreading habit. Avoid planting in natural wetland areas or near bodies of water where it may become invasive.

Wildlife Attraction: The bright yellow flowers of Lesser Spearwort are attractive to pollinators such as bees and butterflies. They also provide a food source for certain caterpillars. The plant can attract wildlife to your garden, enhancing biodiversity.

Pests and Diseases: Ranunculus flammula is generally resistant to most pests and diseases. However, keep an eye out for aphids or slugs, which can occasionally infest the plant. If necessary, take appropriate measures to control these pests.

By following these care guidelines, you can successfully grow Ranunculus flammula in suitable garden or wetland settings. Adjust the care routine based on your specific growing conditions and monitor the plant for any signs of stress or unwanted spreading. With its bright yellow flowers and ability to tolerate wet conditions, Lesser Spearwort can add beauty and interest to moist garden areas or water features.
