Top size bulbs for bigger flowers

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

- Plant the small, unusual tubers known as claws 5cm (2in) deep and 10cm (4in) apart, 'eyes' up and claws facing down. Grow in a sheltered position and protect from strong and cold winds.
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.
Flowering Time
May - July
