Ranunculus 'Ardèche Mix' is a glorious celebration of colour, with exquisitely layered flowers that look almost too perfectly arranged to be real. Each rounded bloom is composed of countless silky petals, unfurling gradually to reveal the intricate, rose-like form for which ranunculus are so treasured. Ranunculus 'Ardèche Mix' offers a particularly rich palette, ranging from crisp white and delicate blush pink to vivid cerise, glowing orange, golden yellow and sumptuous deep burgundy. Together they create a display that feels abundant, joyful and just a touch decadent. Rising neatly above fresh green foliage on upright stems, Ranunculus 'Ardèche Mix' brings polished colour to sunny borders and patio containers, whether planted as a cheerful mixture or woven among other seasonal favourites.
Few flowers earn their place in the cutting garden quite as convincingly as Ranunculus 'Ardèche Mix'. Those beautifully packed blooms are superb for picking, opening slowly in the vase and lending bouquets the romantic fullness of roses on altogether more slender stems. In the garden, plant them generously for the greatest impact, allowing the contrasting shades to mingle freely rather than trying to keep everyone in line. Ranunculus 'Ardèche Mix' also works beautifully in pots, where the flowers can be admired at close quarters as their tightly furled buds develop into generous blooms. Sophisticated in shape but wonderfully exuberant in colour, Ranunculus 'Ardèche Mix' turns spring and early summer displays into something resembling a particularly well-stocked florist's window.

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.
