Ranunculus Orange
M6685
Description
Large, deep orange flowers with multi-petalled forms bring richness to Ranunculus Orange. Popular among florists, these striking blooms enhance garden borders and containers alike. Their bold tones and full texture add warmth and visual appeal, making this a reliable feature in both outdoor and floral designs.
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.
