Corn Buttercup -ranunculus arvensis– is an annual meadow plant that grew in cornfields in the past, but sadly, has been affected by modern herbicides in recent times. Fortunately it can still be introduced into annual wildflower meadows and works best when grown with other cornfield plants. Corn Buttercups should be sown onto well drained fertile soils where there is plenty of sunlight. Plants produce lemon yellow flowers that appear from May to July and attract butterflies. Corn Buttercup looks best growing with other cornfield annuals such as Corn Chamomile, Corn Cockle, Corn Marigold, Wild Pansies, Cornflowers and Poppies..

How to grow Corn Buttercup Seeds
Corn Buttercup seeds should be sown in spring, directly outside, where they are to flower and covered lightly with soil. Seeds are usually easy to germinate.
