Ranunculaceae

4 plants in database

Ranunculaceae in this database spans zones 3-8 with 4 species, so design it as a guild component instead of a monoculture block. Use its strongest role (Wildlife Attractor) intentionally and manage spacing for airflow because there are 3 recurring pests in this family. Anchor it in the Herbaceous layer and pair with unrelated support species in other layers; if you save seed from multiple cultivars, isolate flowering plants to reduce accidental crosses within the family.
