Ranunculus Butterfly Musa offers larger flowers for a butterfly variety, all with the trademark sparkling appearance. Blooms begin as a red to salmon colored flower bud and throughout its maturity it changes to create a coral center with antique bronze petals, truly special. Each stem branches and bears multiple blooms giving your garden an airy, elegant look. Strong and tall, Musa grows stems in a manageable length for garden and vase use.

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.
