Creeping buttercup is a tough herbaceous perennial, commonly found in garden lawns and borders. Left to its own devices, it can quickly monopolise parts of a garden – but should you get rid of creeping buttercup?
'Creeping buttercup can appear in even the most well-kept gardens,' says Cheryl Harper, Managing Director of Greensleeves Lawn Care. 'Pets, birds and wildlife can bring it into your garden, or it can even be carried in on the soles of your shoes. It may pop up even after you've triumphed over it before.'
