And here's the Ranunculus 'Buttered Popcorn' I mentioned in another thread. You can see that when it thrives it really provides a thick mass that effectively chokes out weeds. It grows from sun to shade and the foliage is very interesting. Only problem is that it has failed to come back in some areas in Spring. However, where it does return, it does continue to spread pretty rapidly. So far from the pattern of where it returns, I would say that it does better where it's a bit sheltered.
