Jim:

I am surprised to hear that Ranuculus ficaria 'Brazzen Hussey' is a thug 
there.  So, how thuggish is it...inquiring minds want to know?  We have 
been growing it for 15 years and it grows and flowers well, but have 
never even had enough to even offer it for sale.  We get a few 
seedlings, but sure wish for more.   All of the cultivars that we have 
grown have behaved well, while the straight species is indeed a terrible 
weed.
