Soft bi-toned salmon and coral blooms with an opalescent sparkle make this variety an absolute standout in spring bouquets. Ranunculus Butterfly™ Eris® produces tall, branching stems loaded with multiple blooms, and its 2 to 3-inch flowers have an airy, cosmos-like look rather than the dense, traditional ranunculus form. Thanks to a thin, waxy coating on the petals, Butterfly™ Eris® is surprisingly durable and holds up beautifully in arrangements.

• Each stem carries five to ten flowers and will require support such as staking or netting
• One of the tallest varieties in the Butterfly™ collection
