Plant of the Week: Ranunculus Ficaria

Ranunculus Ficaria ‘Brazen Hussy’ is a tuberous-rooted celandine that lights up a dark day.

It thrives in damp soil, in partial shade and at the edge of woodland.

This member of the buttercup family is a perennial joy which blooms wonderfully before dying back as summer advances.

‘Brazen Hussy’ may reach a height of eight inches but it is a big-hearted little plant and it can spread and colonise quickly.
