Water: Azores buttercup thrives in humid environments with high water content, requiring weekly watering for optimal hydration. Originating from the Azores, this herbaceous perennial experiences growth and dormancy cycles, necessitating careful water management throughout seasonal changes.

Ensure careful seed handling and provide consistent, moderate water for ideal growth. With proper care, azores buttercup will enhance garden beauty.
