About this variety

A mix makes it easy to bring colour into the garden. These ranunculus flower in many bright shades, and each flower is densely double like a small rose. Together they create a cheerful, varied picture. The flowers stand on long, strong stems.

At about 45–55 cm tall and 20 cm wide, the plants suit the edges of beds, borders and pots in sunny spots. 30 tubers are enough for a larger group or several containers. Calm companions such as lady's mantle, grasses or white marguerites give the colourful picture structure.

Above all, though, the mix is a cut flower. From the many colours you can make new arrangements again and again in June and July. Cut the stems as soon as the buds show colour, and they will last especially long in the vase. The double flowers hold little appeal for pollinators. If you like, plant some of the tubers in a dedicated cutting bed. That way enough colour remains in the ornamental garden, while you harvest fresh stems from the cutting bed every week without hesitation.

Planting

Soak the tubers for 3–4 hours. Plant them from March to May, claws pointing downwards, 5 cm deep and 10 cm apart. A sunny spot with loose, loamy-sandy soil is ideal. If there is a late frost, protect the shoots with fleece.

Care

Keep the soil evenly moist, without waterlogging. Feed lightly at the start of flowering. Cut off faded stems. The mix is only hardy in mild, sheltered locations; it is safer to lift the tubers once the foliage has died back and store them frost-free.
