'Elegance® Rosa'
Crank up the colour volume for spring and summer with this bright new Ranunculus 'Elegance® Rosa'. From cottage gardens to bijoux boho balconies, this sparkling hot pink variety is a real flare for any outside space, perking up your patch with vivid colour pops. Each bloom is packed with masses of radiant petals in neat rounded formation – just when you though they must be at their best, they just seem to keep on going and revealing more and more petals! Sitting above upright stems they also provide a lovely movement as they bob around in the breeze!
This jazzy and flamboyant variety is perfect for pots or borders, plus they make great cut flowers too. The blooms take their time to unravel and look fabulous from the moment they first open to several weeks later when they’re fully open. No garden or indoor arrangement should be without a few of these impressive, long-lasting Ranunculus 'Elegance® Rosa'!

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.
