Nursery contributed plant descriptions

An instant seller here at the nursery. We love this “Giant Buttercup” from the Canary Islands! An all around handsome and dependable perennial for lighting up shady areas, it blooms more and more every year, exploding into a sparkly 4’ x 3’ mass of extra large, shiny buttercups from March thru May. Very attractive, emerald, maple-like foliage, too. Rich soil. Deciduous. Tolerates some dryness.
