Buttercup flowers, or Genus Ranunculus, bloom in April or May, and last throughout the summer. Buttercups are annuals, which die in a year or season. They are also perennials, which means that they return to bloom each year.

Plant Care

Buttercup Flowers should be fertilized every two weeks with a diluted soluble fertilizer. For less upkeep, a granular slow-release fertilizer may be used. Buttercups should be watered during dry spells and grow best in cool soil. The flowers should be pruned back at the beginning of the winter season.

Common Growing Locations

Buttercup flowers commonly grow in fields and woods of the North Temperate Zone.

Species

There are more than 250 species of buttercup flowers, which include the Alkali Buttercup (Cymbalaria), Pygmy Buttercup (Pygmaeus) and Littleleaf Buttercup (Abortivus).
