Ranunculus are popular cut flowers, but they are also popular in gardens or cultivated in pots on balconies. They impress with their flowers, which are remotely reminiscent of peonies or roses.

The color spectrum of ranunculus ranges from delicate white to deep red

A wide range of colors

Thanks to the tact of numerous growers, there are now plenty of ranunculus on the market in a wide variety of colors. That's all there:

  • White
  • pink
  • Red
  • violet
  • orange
  • yellow

All possible nuances are present. So there are cream-colored, golden yellow, light pink, light yellow and other shades in the trade. Multicolored flowers are also not uncommon. There are other varieties on the market that produce white flowers tinted pink at the edges, or varieties that are orange in color and light up yellow-green in the middle.

How about lipstick red ranunculus for your loved one? Yellow and orange ranunculus for a sad acquaintance? White buttercups for a wedding? Purple ranunculus for the beloved mother? Multicolored ranunculus for playful women's hearts? Even if you opt for a bouquet mixture of several colors, it doesn't look kitschy, but rather cheering.

Make dreary living spaces shine

Whether single-colored or two-colored - with ranunculus you bring color into dreary living and office spaces. Bare, white walls really come alive when there is a bouquet of ranunculus on a table in front of it. The flowers shine as cut flowers in a vase and create a happy, carefree, lively and harmonious atmosphere.

When does the flowering period start?

Ranunculus usually starts flowering in May. The flowering can last until July. The prerequisite for this is that the withered flowers are cut off regularly and quickly so that the plant produces new buds.
