Ranunculus: Layers of Delicate Petals for Cool-Season Magic

Ranunculus (Persian Buttercup) produces exquisite, rose-like blooms with layer upon layer of tissue-thin petals in brilliant colors—white, pink, red, yellow, orange, and bicolors. A cool-season star for spring gardens and cut flowers.

See them in bloom in spring at the Flower Fields right behind our store in Carlsbad, California—a spectacular display.

Growing Essentials

• Light: Full sun
• Water: Moderate

Plant corms in fall (mild climates) or early spring (cold climates) for spring bloom. Excellent drainage is critical—rot is the main enemy. Harvest stems when buds show color for 7–10 day vase life. A florist favorite for wedding work.
