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. In regions with mild winters, buttercups can be planted in autumn for an early bloom in April. In colder regions, they can be planted in spring to ensure an early summer bloom.
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 have been specifically bred to be slightly more heat-tolerant than other ranunculi, extending the bloom window.
🇫🇷 The Amandine line is of French origin; characterized by big flowers and strong stems, high productivity even in winter. Extremely versatile and a must-grow for wedding and event work.
Amandine "Porcelaine", or "Porceline" in English, is a soft mauve pink with creamy soft pink edges. The backs of the petals are a rich solid color. Some are more creamy than others but they all make for an irresistibly gorgeous cut arrangement.
