Ranunculus acris 'Citrinus' is a striking cultivar, bearing beautiful sulphur yellow blooms, which catch and reflect the light on sunny days. It’s perfect for naturalising in long grass or boggy areas, the pond edge or along pathways.
Grow Ranunculus acris 'Citrinus' in moist soil in full sun. Cut back after flowering to encourage a second flush of blooms.
