The plant family, Ranunculus, includes buttercups and lesser celandine, plants that most gardeners would not welcome into their garden. However with these looks and the name of ‘Brazen Hussy’, I have made an exception.
It was discovered and named by Christopher Lloyd growing in the woods at Great Dixter.
Here, enjoying the sunshine, it has brazenly self seeded into some cracks in the path. What is being ‘Brazen’ in your garden?

I love Brazen Hussey but so do the pheasants, they bite all the heads off. So I just get to look at the nice leaves.

I wonder if they do that to the common one?

The shiny yellow against the bronze leaves is very attractive. I guess the most brazen plant in our garden at the moment is our red camellia which is covered with flowers.

I even like the standard celandines…..a single plant in my garden would be enjoyed, and if it looked like this one and I had the room, it would be welcome. It just glows in this great spring sunshine.

Standard celandine is lovely but can be very invasive.

I have lesser celandine at the bottom of the back garden which looks similar and lights up the area. I have had it since we moved in but this year it seems to have set its sides on the borders which is a bit worrying. Amelia

It can be very invasive, however the bees like it.

Your brazen flower is pretty though. For me it is the little daisies and bluebells.
Very pretty…. but yes, brazen. 😊.

Oh it’s a most aptly named plant Brian and a most attractive one. Those pesky little wild violets are being most brazen in my garden right now.

The violets are lovely though.

My most brazen plants are Spanish bluebells which dominate the spring and Japanese anemones which dominate everything else. It’s lovely how your plant has self seeded and come true.

I am pleased to see it each spring, being a fan of Great Dixter it is special.
