Description
What’s not to love about a mass of colourful ranunculi (or Persian Buttercups)? Apart from the range of jewel-like colours, there are the plump blooms composed of a multitude of petals that would rival any rose. Delightfully easy to grow, you’ll get multiple flowers from each ranunculus bulb, and will be able to spare a few to test out the long vase-life for which they are famed. We’ve selected the finest colours of ranunculus bulbs to make up a mix that will leave you more than satisfied, but wishing that the flowering display could have gone on forever. Never mind. There’s always next year. But be sure you don’t miss the planting season this year. Your cute, clawed mixed coloured Ranunculus asiaticus 'Aviv' tubers are just waiting for you!
Ranunculus means ‘little frog’ in Latin. It is a merger of the words rana, meaning ‘frog’, and unculus, meaning ‘little’. Ribbit, ribbit!
