Description

Ranuculus are famously tricky to grow, blighted by mildew from early in the year, but this new Butterfly breeding gives strength, productivity, health and vigour. We loved these almost miniature magnolias growing in the garden and picked them all through May.

Care Tips

Soak the claws for 12 hours prior to planting. Plant into pots to grow-on in a glasshouse until the danger of frost has passed. In warmer areas they can be planted directly in the ground, but we would advise using a cloche for overnight protection.
