Ranunculus inundatus

Ranunculus inundatus is a true eye-catcher with its palm-like bright green leaves. Ranunculus needs lots of light to prevent it from forming too long leaf stalks, and can take its time getting established.  It then produces a profusion of low-growing side shoots that soon fill in the entire foreground if not kept in check. This species arguably looks best when not completely filled in, as dense growth disguises the distinctive leaf shape. Ranunculus inundatus goes well with even shorter foreground plants or as a compliment to a decorative sand foreground.
