southern Europe and northern Africa. The plant may have arrived in northern Europe
during the Crusades but was not cultivated widely until the 17th century.
-----
The name Ranunculus comes from the Latin words for “little frog” because many
species grow near streams. However, Ranunculus asiaticus is partial
to sunny hillsides and pastures.
-----
Known for radiant, rose-like blossoms, Ranunculus may be single or double flowered.
It has gossamer-thin petals and grows in a palette of colours. Florists and gardeners love them,
and they are a popular choice for wedding bouquets and centrepieces.
