'Amandine Chamallow'
Ranunculus 'Amandine Chamallow' is the darling of French ranunculus varieties, famed for its large, fluffy blooms and sturdy stems that make it an ideal choice for both the garden and the vase. The soft pastel pink petals, often compared to ballet slipper pink, create a delicate, yet striking display in any setting. With its strong, upright stems, Ranunculus 'Amandine Chamallow' is perfect for cutting and arranging, making it a top pick for weddings and special occasions. It offers a lovely burst of colour wherever it’s planted.
Blooming in late spring to early summer, slightly later than some of its relatives, Ranunculus 'Amandine Chamallow' extends the flower season, bringing softness and charm when many other blooms have faded. It’s more heat-tolerant than many other varieties, meaning it continues to show off well into the warmer months. With a vigorous and prolific growth habit, each corm produces multiple flowers, ensuring a generous display. Whether planted in borders, containers, or used for cutting, Ranunculus 'Amandine Chamallow' will keep your garden looking fresh and full of life, while its graceful blooms bring elegance to any arrangement.

Plant profile
Plant calendar
Soak the dry claws in plain water for three to four hours before planting. They will gradually plump up as they rehydrate.
Choose a sunny, sheltered position with fertile, well-drained soil. Ranunculus enjoy moisture during active growth, but dislike waterlogged ground and strong, cold winds.
Plant the claws facing downwards, 2–5cm deep and 5–10cm apart. They can be planted directly in borders or containers, or started individually in pots.
Keep the soil lightly moist during active growth, but never soggy. Deadhead regularly to encourage more flowers, then reduce watering as the foliage begins to yellow.
