Ranunculus asiaticus PURPLE – 20 bulbs

Nothing beats Ranunculus flowers to add that dash of whimsy and romance to the garden.

These beautiful rare and unusual purple coloured flowers not only look lovely, but combine beautifully with so many other plants, flower bulbs and perennials.

Ranunculus flowers are also excellent cut flowers.

Also known as the Persian buttercup these pretty purple Ranunculus have fully double flowers with tightly clustered petals.

Each stem produces one to several flowers.

They will grow equally well in full sun or partial shade.

Ranunculus are ground-hardy in warmer areas and can be planted in the autumn between September and November for flowers in early spring or in the spring when the danger of frost has passed, usually between March  and May for flowers in late summer.

Blooms:  May – August

Flower colour: purple

Full grown height: 25 – 40 cm

Soil requirements: any well drained soil

Like many other flower bulbs ranunculus demand that the soil has adequate drainage. If water pools in the area where you are planting ranunculus corms, it will most likely lead to the corms rotting. Ranunculus do not grow well in wet soil. Poorly drained soil is a common reason for Ranunculus failure.

PLEASE NOTE: it is essential to soak corms in water overnight prior to planting

As the corms soak, they will plump up, often doubling in size

Ranunculus corms have pointed ends that look a lot like claws. Make sure these “claw-ends” are facing down as you plant them
