Things You'll Need
Perisan buttercup tubers
Mildly acidic to neutral soil
Water-soluble quick-release fertilizer
Manure or compost
Plant in early spring when ground is workable after the last frost. Choose a location that gets full sun for six hours or more during the day.
Dig holes that are 2 inches deep and about 6-8 inches apart. Mix in the potting soil.
Place the tuber root claws down into the hole. Cover with the soil, mounding slightly.
Water well to moisten the soil. Keep watered daily while plants are being established. Once the plants are growing, let the soil dry out in between watering.
Tips & Warnings
A week to 10 days before planting, manure or compost can be worked into the soil.
