This order includes dried ranunculus corms. A corm is similar to a bulb in that it stores all the nutrients and energy that the plant needs to grow.
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.
Ranunculus "Salmone" in Italian, or "Salmon" in English, has peachy-orange to faded-pink colored blooms, with no two flowers looking exactly the same.
Full, extremely large flower heads sit atop long, strong stems, making this an excellent cut flower. Blooming 1 to 2 weeks after most varieties, these tall, vigorous plants are more heat-tolerant than other ranunculi, extending the bloom window.
🇮🇹 The Elegance line of ranunculus has been bred from the common garden ranunculus for improved productivity, larger blooms, and longer stems. They are also more tolerant to a variety of climates.
