A centuries-old horticultural plant, the flowering form of the common aconiteleaved buttercup. Over a low clump of dark green leaves on richly branched stems a variety of extremely densely filled, pure white pompom blossoms that remain in the pile for a very long time. Grows well on heavy soils and feeds from mid-August until next spring. Slow growing. The variety was already pictured in 1613 in the "Hortus Eystettensis", which at that time already suggests a sufficient garden distribution.

A tame and not proliferating, old strain. Very early in the spring appear with the leaves expulsion medium-sized, golden yellow button flowers, outside with a wreath of large petals, which surrounds an extremely densely filled center densely packed leaves. Attractive spotted foliage. In midsummer, the plant absorbs like other spring flowers.

A new and exciting strain from Joe Sharman from England. Dense double flowers unfold above dark, almost black-green foliage, which are colored yellow-orange on the inside and bright red-orange on the back. The overall impression is glowing flowers over contrasting foliage, an absolute eye-catcher.

A great find of nature by Bernhard Röllich, named by him and brought by Christian Kreß in sale. Deep yellow, densely filled flowers with light green center on low stems from April to May. Medium green, slightly glossy foliage. Loamy, non-drying soil in full sun to partial shade. Exceptional and rare.

Like most other flowering Ranunculus varieties, this is also a very old ornamental plant. There are illustrations and proofs, according to which she was already used in the wreath of the bridesmaids in the Middle Ages. It is a polyploid variety with a strong growth. It forms from May to July a variety of flower stems, which branch out and bloom for a long time. The golden yellow pompon blossoms carry a green button in their middle, which never fully opens. We received our mother plant from Uwe Scharf, a diploma biologist, who had found her in the courtyard of the castle park Lützschena near Leipzig. For sun to partial shade. The thick, aboveground stolons can be easily removed, then the perennial flowers even richer. Really something special.
