Ranunculus asiaticus Elegance Orange (Persian Buttercup)

Ranunculus asiaticus 'Elegance Orange' (Persian Buttercup) is a tuberous perennial boasting large flowers adorned with layers upon layers of beautifully structured, silky tangerine-orange petals. Reminiscent of garden roses or peonies, the flowers are borne atop thick and sturdy stems. They bloom for about 4-7 weeks in late spring to early summer in cold climates (planted in spring), or in early-mid spring in mild climates (planted in fall). Whether treated as perennials or annuals, they add brilliance to the garden and make magnificent bouquets with a vase life of 7 days.
