Ranunculus flowers look almost too perfect to be real. The blossoms display layer upon layer of silky petals in bright colors. These exquisite, rose-like flowers of ranunculus are a staple in any flower shop or wedding bouquet.
"Giallo Striato" literally means "striped yellow" in Italian, and these ranunculi are no exception! The golden-yellow flowers, painted with contrasting merlot-colored tips will steal the spotlight in any garden bed or flower bouquet.
The trademarked Elegance ranunculus line is a hybrid, hand-made to be an even better version of the common garden ranunculus. Their genetic improvements include higher productivity, longer stems, increased homogeneity, and larger flowers with many more petals. They're also much healthier and more capable of thriving in a broader range of climates.
