- / per
Ranunculus glacialis, the glacier buttercup or glacier crowfoot, is a plant of the family Ranunculaceae. It grows up to 20 cm high, often with a single relatively large (1.8 - 3.8 cm) flower, with 5 petals first white later pink or reddish.
Ranunculus glacialis is an Arctic-alpine species, found in the high mountains of Europe, as well as on the Scandinavian peninsula, Iceland, the Faroe Islands, Jan Mayen, Svalbard, eastern Greenland and Finland, where it is endangered and protected.
Very rare seeds. Limited supply.
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zones: 3-8
Height: 20 cm, 8"
Location: Sun or part shade
Seeds per packet: 10 (previously 5)
Sow just under the surface of the soil and water in. Leave them at room temperature for 4 weeks. This helps break the phytohormones which inhibit germination. They will not grow yet. Then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 6 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold stratification period they are then brought back to a cool room (15-18°C, 59-68°F) for them to germinate. Germination can be erratic, generally 30-90 days after the warming period, though some can take longer.
Ornamental use only. These seeds and/or plants are poisonous.
