A variety to enhance a border of wildflowers and grasses, much en vogue in the plant world. Popular perennials, this buttercup-like flower produces lots of yellow-creamy petals giving a look of and a feel of peonies.

So versatile, this beautiful double buttercup thrives in sunny conditions great for a south-facing flower bed or in containers on a sunny patio. It thrives equally in part shade and does well in moist soils. You can even consider planting by the side of your pond to add welcome colour.

If growing in pots plant 1 or 2 bare-root plants per every 30cm (12in) pot and add some decorative gravel on top. This is not only attractive but useful too as the stones reflect the sun’s heat onto the plants which they favour.
