California buttercup

A perennial 1-3 feet tall, goes deciduous in summer.

Along with blue-eyed-grass, buttercups are the first color of spring in our local meadows.  A must have addition to any bay area meadow garden.

Prefers clay/serpentine but can grow on many soils.

Buttercups are prone to self-sow so you can have returning spring color every year.
