With a carefree elegance, Ariadne Butterly Ranunculus has taken center stage as the new “it flower” in gardening and floral trends. Soft blush hues on ivory petals almost sparkle with an iridescent sheen. Each stem of Ariadne is expected to produce 7 to 10 flowers creating a fun and distinctive stand out in the garden. The cut flowers are equally magical with a bloom life in the vase lasting up to 10 days.

Note: In Zones 8–10, ranunculus are grown as perennials—plant in fall for spring blooms. In Zones 4–7, they are treated as cool-season annuals. Start corms indoors in late winter and transplant after nights stay above 30°F, or dry-store them and plant in spring after hard frosts.

Unauthorized reproduction and sale of corms is prohibited by the breeder.
