NuviaSeed's 45 Days of Bloom Mix showcases the best of the best ranunculus flowers. Also called Persian buttercups, these are compact, tuberous-rooted plants with enormous, rose-like blooms decorated with numerous layers of delicate, silky petals. Before flowering, the stem and leaves of the ranunculus mimic those of the celery plant. Each plant is prolific, producing masses of long-lasting double flowers on strong stems. Any garden visitor will be wowed by these dramatic flowers. The contrast with the green foliage is stunning, and they're great as cut flowers for bouquets. Give them to friends, or keep them all to yourself!
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.
