Persian Buttercup Collection

This Collection brings together 5 varieties of Persian Buttercups from the improved Vortex F1 series, of various shades. These are naturally compact plants (20 cm in all directions), well-branched and floriferous, which offer from the end of March to the end of May an abundance of rounded, fully-double and brightly coloured flowers. The Persian Buttercup is a frost-tender, tuberous perennial that is often grown as a biennial, used in flower beds and containers and also excellent for use as a cut flower. It is best planted in autumn, in containers, for early flowering (April-May) or in spring for summer flowering. In regions with mild winters, it can be grown in the open ground. It thrives in partial shade as well as full sun, in rich, loamy soils.

The collection includes:

1 plug plant of Persian Buttercup (Ranunculus) Vortex F1 White : pure white with a black centre

1 plug plant of Persian Buttercup (Ranunculus) Vortex F1 Lemonade : lemon yellow with many different hues and a green heart

1 plug plant of Persian Buttercup (Ranunculus) Vortex F1 Purple : gradient of purple, violet and mauve tones

1 plug plant of Persian Buttercup (Ranunculus) Vortex F1 Orange : dark orange, becoming bright orange

1 plug plant of Persian Buttercup (Ranunculus) Vortex F1 Red : red, with shiny petals

These perennials grow back every year.

Plant Persian Buttercups in partial shade or in a non-scorching, sunny exposure, in fertile, humus-rich soil, ensuring that the growing medium does not dry out too much, without becoming soggy. Use 16 to 20 bulbs per m². Highly ornamental in flower beds or planters, their flowers which can last up to 3 weeks in a vase are popular in floral arrangements alongside roses, Chinese peonies or statices (sea lavenders), for example. In the garden, annual poppies, annual lobelias and nigellas make great companions. By pulling out the tubers in autumn to store them, before the first frosts, you can cultivate this plant like gladioli.

Caution: Please note, our plug plants are professional products reserved for experienced gardeners. Upon receipt, transplant them as quickly as possible, in pots, planters or directly in flower beds.
