_Ranunculus acris_ 'Flore Pleno', which they said wasn't invasive.

Would they be concerned about self seeding.
It seems to me they are after a chalk downland effect but with different
plants


I had the impression that the intent was to have dot plants in the lawn
(the technical term was an enameled mead, which would not be the same as
a typical flowery mead) so I would have thought that they would be
concerned above self-seeding. However, some double-flowered plants are
sterile; perhaps this buttercup is one such (but in that case how would
it be propagated?)
