Ficaria Verna F. Nigromaculata

Ficaria verna f. nigromaculata is a striking variation of the common buttercup known for its dark, almost black spots on its bright yellow petals. This unique cultivar adds a dramatic contrast to its otherwise cheerful appearance, making it a popular choice among gardeners and botanists alike. Native to Europe, it thrives in moist, shady environments and is often found in woodland gardens. Its flowers bloom in early spring, signaling the arrival of warmer weather with their vibrant display. Despite its beauty, it requires careful attention to soil and moisture levels to flourish.
