About the Family

Ranunculus ficaria, commonly known as lesser celandine or fig buttercup, is a charming herbaceous perennial with intricate details to explore.Glossy heart-shaped leaves emerge in early spring, creating a lush carpet on the ground. The bright, buttercup-like flowers bloom on slender stems, adorning any shady spot with vibrant hues. The flowers can vary in colour, ranging from radiant yellow to warm orange and pristine white. Some single, others double or even anemone-like,

Celandines prefers moist, well-drained soil and partial shade. They are adaptable, making them suitable for woodland gardens, under trees, or naturalizing in shaded areas. Cultivation is relatively straightforward. The small tubers come into growth in the winter, blooming in early spring. Ensure consistent moisture during the growing season.

Lesser celandine is known to naturalize easily. Once established, it will return year after year, creating a delightful and colourful display in early spring. It typically goes dormant during the summer months. As the weather becomes warmer, the plant starts to wither and die back. The plant essentially rests until the following growing season. This natural cycle is a common behaviour for many spring-flowering plants, where they store energy in their underground structures (such as tubers or bulbs) during dormancy. It's essential to allow the plant to go through its natural phase, and minimal intervention is required during this time.

Overall, Ranunculus ficaria adds a burst of color and elegance to gardens, particularly in shaded or woodland settings.
