Lesser Celandine
Weed of the Month: Lesser Celandine/Fig Buttercup

Lesser celandine, also known as fig buttercup, is a relatively new invasive to Minnesota and an invasive to watch for in the spring. Lesser Celandine has a very short lifecycle, growing as soon as the snow melts, and then dying back to its root ball by June. This early invasive can begin blooming as early as March.
