Ranunculi Dark Secrets Bulbs 15pk

Ranunculus asiaticus

A tough and prolific bloomer. The vibrant multi- layered blooms are featured on a single stem with varying colours of deep wine red, bright red and white. They look amazing when planted en-masse in garden beds.

General Information: Suitable for all climates except tropical. Very hardy, will grow in most
conditions. One Ranunculi corm can produce more than 20 flowers. To keep blooms coming
for a longer period, regularly cut off any dead and dying blooms. These little bulbs will keep
your garden and house in flowers for many weeks. Ranunculi have wonderful rich and bright
colours, and for picking as a cut flower they are hard to beat. They prefer to be massed in a
sunny position.
