Anemone ranunculoides Bulb

Anemone ranunculoides is a charming low-growing perennial that brings cheerful yellow blooms to shaded garden areas in spring. Native to European woodlands, this rhizomatous species features buttercup-yellow, star-shaped flowers approximately 2 - 3 cm across, each held just above a mat of deeply divided, rich green foliage. Its spreading habit makes it ideal for naturalising in woodland gardens, shady borders, or beneath deciduous trees, where it forms attractive carpets over time. Flowering from March to May, it adds vibrant early-season colour and supports pollinators emerging from winter dormancy. Anemone ranunculoides thrives in humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil and prefers dappled light to partial shade. Once established, it is a reliable and low-maintenance plant that blends well with other shade-loving spring bulbs and perennials, offering a soft natural look with minimal effort. Its understated charm and ecological value make it a valuable addition to naturalistic planting schemes.
