Ranunculus Butterfly Phosphorus is another truly beautiful butterfly variety, showing off the trademark waxy petals and sparkling appearance. These double shaped flowers present a true orange color, almost two-tone with an elegant edging that comes from the petal’s darker-colored underside. Each blossom lightens to a bright yellow as the flowers mature, creating an orange center. Its growing habit is somewhat more compact than the others in this series, but still producing up to 10 flowers per stem.

Note: In Zones 8–10, ranunculus are grown as perennials—plant in fall for spring blooms. In Zones 4–7, they are treated as cool-season annuals. Start corms indoors in late winter and transplant after nights stay above 30°F, or dry-store them and plant in spring after hard frosts.

Unauthorized reproduction and sale of corms is prohibited by the breeder.
