Growing buttercups

One can say about buttercups that they are cheerful, playful flowers that fill any flowerbed with color. Buttercups come in a wide range of colors from white and yellow to red. These flowers look like small roses; plant buttercups in your garden and you will be surprised how much you will love them.

Growing buttercups starts from spring planting. They can be planted by seeds or by dividing the bush. Buttercup seeds are planted in the soil to a depth of about 1 cm. Before planting a ready-made bush, the roots must first be soaked in a manganese solution. The rhizomes are planted to a depth of no more than 5 cm. For propagation by dividing the bush, the Asian buttercup is most suitable; other varieties, as a rule, are grown as annuals. Buttercups are planted in April - early May.

• Humidity Requirements: Buttercup is quite moisture-loving, but this can work against it, since diaper rash on the roots is often observed. Therefore, watering should be plentiful, to the extent that the soil dries out.
• Soil requirements: Buttercup is quite unpretentious, feels good on various loose, fertile soils.
• Light mode: Direct sunlight has a bad effect on flowering time. The western or eastern side will be optimal for planting buttercups.

Buttercups bloom almost all summer long. During the budding period, it is worth applying complex fertilizers, and for Asian buttercups - do this once every 10 days. Growing buttercups is also possible in pots.
After flowering ends, the rhizomes of the buttercups are dug up and stored in a dry and cool place during the winter.
