Temperature

Hairy buttercup can adapt to a wide range of temperatures, though its distribution may still be restricted by different combinations of moisture and heat. It does best in warm summer climates with adequate rainfall or watering. Extended periods of cloudy, rainy weather or sustained high temperatures can increase the chance of Hairy buttercup dying.
