Additional Information:
Meadow Buttercup is not to be confused with the more prolific and troublesome Creeping Buttercup. It establishes best on damp, calcareous ground but usually does very well on most soil types. More common on older, unimproved pastures and hay meadows but rarely seen on modern grassland. The most reliable establishment is obtained from spring to early autumn sowings into a warm soil.
Meadow Buttercup may be introduced into grassland providing the area is well prepared. The existing grass must be topped or grazed very short then repeatedly harrowed to expose sufficient soil as to create a seedbed. The seeds should be surface sown and the area lightly rolled to consolidate the ground ensuring the seeds are in good contact with the soil. Occasional grazing or topping prevents developing seedlings from becoming smothered during establishment. .
