Amur adonis is a plant with a natural distribution extending across the temperate regions of Eastern Asia. It has been successfully cultivated in various regions beyond its original range, indicating a versatility in adapting to new environments.

No reported toxicity for amur adonis specifically, but all parts of the Adonis genus plants may be toxic. More research is needed.

Native to East Asia, amur adonis is weedy throughout its native range but may also become problematic in other regions. It has spread to temperate regions as a popular ornamental plant. The primary concern about this plant is its toxicity to pets and people, although the exact effects of this plant have not been fully studied. Furthermore, amur adonis has characteristics that may lead to it becoming weedy in gardens. It is allelopathic, meaning it releases toxins into the soil that inhibit nearby plants, especially legumes. It also begins flowering very early in the season and readily self-seeds. To prevent amur adonis from spreading, use herbicides or manually remove any plants you find. It is best if you remove these plants before they flower or seed.
