The heyday of hot ranunculus
Hot ranunculus grows in fields, meadows, pastures, roadsides and also in well-groomed lawns.
The flowering period of the wild form begins in May. It lasts until September because new plants and flowers keep developing from the seeds.
If the ranunculus is to be controlled effectively, the infested area must be mowed before the flowering period in May. This prevents the formation of flowers and later seeds.
