Italian Ranunculus 'Elegance Crema 43-99' - 25 SEEDS

Ranunculus asiaticus

Ranunculus provide a very welcome rainbow in the garden as Winter finishes and nature wakes up. This cool season crop will flower in early Spring, with similar timing to Poppies, Anemones, Tulips & Peonies. Italian Ranunculus are a specialty variety with double blooms and excellent stems for cutting - I can never go back to regular garden variety Ranunculus after growing these very special flowers.

This new collection from Biancheri in Italy includes specialty commercial varieties, specifically bred for cut-flower production and not usually available to the public. These seeds are sourced from Ball Australia, who also provide all of my flower production plugs (mini-seedlings grown from these same seeds).

These seeds will flower and develop corms in their first year, strengthening each growing season. Corms can be lifted and stored when plants have died down to ensure viability for next season - they do not like to be wet when dormant, so it is best to lift yours corms if you will be watering your planting area once the corms are dormant.
