My new favorite flower! I'm obsessed with these. When they are finished blooming they turn upside down and reveal about 5oo petals! The bloom on top took my breath away:) So, the best time to plant these in NY is early spring around March 1. The more you cut blooms the more blooms they will send up. I planted some in pots with violas and pansies and just put some in the ground. On one of my pots, the leaves have all turned yellow--could be lack of nitrogen, lack of water or not enough sun light. I think its the sunlight. They don't like to be too hot but they need a lot of sunlight (hence, early spring flower!) Also like to be wet but not muddy. Should grow to about 16" tall. A really pretty color combo is red, yellow and melon.
This is an experiment! Learning as I go....
***These did much better in pots, plant in the sun,waster every other day. Short lived, beautiful spring flower. Didn't do well at all in the ground. Another variety is a Persian buttercup, taller, Want to try those next year.
