Description
When it comes to plant fashion, brown is peaking right at the top of the trendy-plant Richter scale right now! So inject a bit of chic into your own garden with this swanky new ranunuculus. With mouth-wateringly chocolatey luxurious blooms, Ranunculus 'Elegance® Cioccolato' will strut its stuff from late spring onwards with style elegance and complete aplomb. And if you like to grow your own cut flowers, there’s nothing more ‘in-vogue’ right now than blooms with muted, vintage-looking tones. With extremely long lasting, rich coco-brown flowers and layers upon layers of silky petals which form a neat, intricate rounded bloom, Ranunculus 'Elegance® Cioccolato' has it all.
Italian breeders have spent years working hard on perfecting these immaculate new Elegance ranunculi, and you can tell by the exquisite flowers that they’re a bit of a masterpiece. Bred in warmer climates to the UK, it’s best to give these a bit of winter protection and start them off indoors, or plant them outside after risk of frost has passed. But this little bit of extra care will certainly pay off. Grow this brown beauty and you’ll enjoy months of fabulous interest from the continuous flowers, and don’t forget to cut a few stems to display in a vase too!
