Ranunculus repens 'Snowdrift'



8th April 2006 29th May 2006 10th July 2006
The smallest growing and brightest of the variegated forms that I grow. The Alternatives catalogue says:

"A form of creeping buttercup to grow more for its pure white-variegated leaves than its flowers, which are rather small. The variegation vanishes at certain times of year but it is very exciting when in full swing. Peg down and pamper the plantlets or they may shrivel and die (as did most of mine last year). Found by Tim Hooker in his Dorset garden."

Unusually for a creeping buttercup, this one has made it into general circulation. Bob Brown at Cotswold Garden Flowers said:

"Tumbling white-variegated foliage, yellow flowers. Makes a good pot plant but I would not plant it in the garden."
