Propagation: Large white buttercup is a perennial herb from the buttercup family, featuring creamy white flowers. Propagate by sowing seeds in well-drained, humus-rich soil while ensuring consistent moisture. Handle seedlings carefully during transplanting, and divide robust clumps for further propagation during dormancy.
