first got Ranunculus amplexicaulis as seed
from the AGS seed exchange. Sown in January,
a few germinated and it flowered in the
second year, in April - May, with white
single flowers and a few semi-double. It
grows to about 6 - 12 inches ( 15 - 30 cm)
tall. |
| I
now sow fresh seed in July, with much better
germination. |

| Ranunculus
amplexicaulis is an endemic native of the
Pyrenees and mountains of Northern Spain,
where it is included in the 'endangered
list'. It has slender pointed leaves,
scapes bearing three to six flowers. |
| In
cultivation, it is a perennial for sun or
part shade, and should be grown in well
drained moist soil |
