Growing River Buttercup
River Buttercup prefers a nutrient-rich environment and performs best when kept consistently moist. It can be planted in boggy areas around the pond or positioned in shallow water to a depth of approximately 2cm.
For an easy way to add River Buttercup to your pond, place it in one of our pond plant rings and allow it to trail naturally across the water.
For healthy growth and flowering, feed with a slow-release aquatic fertiliser tablet each season. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for application rate and frequency.
Please note: River Buttercup is not an oxygenating plant. It is best used for its beautiful foliage, flowers and habitat value rather than for oxygenating the water.
