Description

Ethereal and in my view, perfectly beautiful, I adore this single (with a few semi-double) Butterfly Ranunculus which flowers in the greenhouse from the middle of March and outside about six weeks later. It’s one of my favourite things for spring picking.

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.
