Bulbous Buttercup Plug Plants Ranunculus bulbosus

Common names include St Anthony’s turnip.

A cheerful, low-growing perennial wildflower with glossy, golden-yellow flowers that appear from late March to June. Its early blooms provide a valuable nectar source for bees and other pollinators in spring, helping support wildlife at a critical time of year. The deeply divided foliage and slightly nodding flower buds add texture and charm to meadows and grasslands.

Bulbous buttercup prefers dry, well-drained soils in full sun and is particularly well-suited to species-rich grasslands, verges, and wildflower meadows on lighter soils. Its compact habit and drought tolerance make it ideal for naturalistic planting and pollinator-friendly spaces.

Our strong, healthy plug plants are grown in 40cc cell trays and ready for planting straight into their final position.

Sourced from UK-grown native stock, these plugs offer a reliable way to establish this attractive wildflower where seed germination may be erratic.

We recommend planting 5–7 plugs per square metre in groups for a natural look.
