Ranunculus flammula
Lesser spearwort

UK Native: Yes

Height: Short

Planting Zone: 2


The Dwarf spearwort grows to 20-30 cm in height, a hardy British native water plant. It produces masses of pretty yellow flowers throughout the summer. Allow it to grow into clumps for best effect, and to provide habitat for pond insects. Plant in a medium or large container using aquatic soil covered with pea gravel and place on the marginal shelf. Trim decaying foliage in autumn.
