Description
Ranunculus Red enthralls with striking, velvety blooms, embodying elegance and passion. Radiant flowers boast layers of rich, crimson petals which unfurl into plush rosettes, providing a bold splash of colour in any garden.

Care Guide
Best planted under glass or in a polytunnel in autumn, for overwintering and blooming the following spring. Can also be started off outdoors in spring.
Soak the spider-like tubers in water for several hours prior to planting.
Plant tubers 7-10cm deep, spaced 15cm apart into well-drained, fertile soil.
For container grown plants, a mix of good quality multi-purpose compost and grit is ideal.
Provide consistent watering, ensuring soil remains moderately damp at all times. Ranunculus are susceptible to mildew if they are allowed to dry out, or rot if they are kept too wet.
Grow in a position in full sun and feed with high-potash fertiliser weekly when buds start to appear. Pick regularly as wonderful cut flowers.
