White Buttercup - (Oenothera pallida) Perennial Plants Other Common Names: Evening Primrose, Pale Evening Primrose, Oenothera Pallida Var. Runcinata, Oenothera Runcinata Family: Onagraceae Genus: Oenothera Species: pallida. Buttercup is a 'hideous-looking cat' that belonged to Primrose Everdeen. Prim named him Buttercup because she insisted that his muddy yellow coat matched the bright flower. He hates Katniss due to her attempt to drown him in a bucket, and Katniss hates him, though they sometimes act somewhat friendly to each other. After Katniss started to feed him the entrails from her hunting kills, he stopped hissing at her. Physical appearance Buttercup is a white plush unicorn with a yellow mane and gold horn. He has blue eyes with eyelashes. He also has pink heart-shaped nostrils. Also called Summer buttercups or the Shamrock, this buttercup has pink-and-white petals sitting atop silvery foliage, and they get only around 3 inches tall. Growing best in full sun or partial shade, the buttercup is easy to grow and deer-resistant. It looks great in vases or containers, and it makes a beautiful groundcover as well.

Diquat mixed with a non-ionic surfactant is an excellent fast-acting contact option. Addition of copper ethanolamine will often improve effectiveness in difficult to control areas.
We recommend, 6 oz. of Harvester Liquid with 3 oz. CYGNET PLUS Liquid or combine 4 oz. of Harvester Liquid, 4 oz. of CUTRINE-PLUS Liquid and 3 oz. of CYGNET PLUS Liquid. Add enough water to the concentrate to make 1½ gallons of spray solution. 1½ gallons of solution will treat 1,000 sq. ft. (100’ x 10’). It is best to treat before flowering. Repeat treatment may be needed to make good contact with all the foliage.
