Ranunculus 'Salmon' - 5 corms

Spring evenings and colorful setting skies are strongly reminiscent with the color palette of this spectacular beauty. Graceful blooms with slightly ruffled petals in salmon and peach shades—some even glowing in warmer pink hues—make them a raved garden favorite. Their heavenly display of flowers swaying in the wind is serene and unforgettable in a spring landscape.

Ranunculus flowers produce large blooms on tall stems with an abundance of lush textured petals in shades of soft peachy pink. These elegant blooms, dubbed as the “rose of the spring” are one of the most beautiful and long-lasting cut flowers in the plant world.
