Description

Enjoy the luxurious, perfectly petal-packed blooms of Ranunculus 'Aviv Purple' in your garden or indoor arrangements. This fancy relative of the humble buttercup keeps you on tenterhooks while it slowly unravels layers of silky petals, revealing the most gorgeous flowers in a rich shade of purple. Whether you fill pots with them, plant swathes to brighten up a border, or stock up your plot for cut flower material, these intricate rose-like blooms are a delight to have around. It’s worth planting a good number of them because cutting some stems for bouquets is irresistible!

You can plant Ranunculus 'Aviv Purple' in spring or autumn. When you plant the bulbs in spring, they flower during summer. Autumn planted Ranunculus bulbs flower in spring. If you plant in both seasons, you can enjoy a longer season of flowers - but do bear in mind that it is necessary to plant them in the same season as supplied while they’re fresh.

Planting Ranunculus

Ranunculus are half hardy—for best results, it's a good idea to start them off in pots and then transplant out into their final positions from mid spring. They're particularly well suited to growing in patio containers, but also do very well at the front of a mixed flower border!
