Ranunculus ficaria ‘Brazen Hussy’
Luscious burgundy-black foliage and cheerful yellow buttercups.
‘Brazen Hussy’ has to be one of the most entertaining cultivar names in all of horticulture. This special form of the European celandine buttercup has luscious, burgundy-black foliage and cheerful yellow buttercups. This species is a spring ephemeral that will go completely dormant by summer, a trait that makes this species incredibly valuable for layering early spring colour into your garden planted between and underneath late-emerging perennials and deciduous shrubs.
