About this variety

Strong orange brings energy to the bed. The flowers of this ranunculus are densely double, their fine petals lying in many layers on top of each other. This creates a round, rose-like shape. The variety belongs to the Aviv series of Ranunculus asiaticus and flowers from May to July.

At around 45–55 cm tall and 20 cm wide, 'Orange' suits the front of a bed, borders and pots. A sunny spot is ideal. With 10 tubers you can plant a large pot or a small group. Blue and violet partners such as sage, violas or forget-me-nots heighten its brilliance.

In the vase, the orange adds freshness and warmth. Combine it with yellow, cream or dark foliage. Cut the stems as soon as the buds show colour, and they will last a long time. The double flower offers bees little, but it will delight you for many weeks. A pot of orange ranunculus by the seating area or next to the front door adds a warm accent. Planting in stages extends your enjoyment of the bright flowers by a few weeks.

Planting

Soak the tubers in lukewarm water for 3–4 hours. Plant them from March to May, claws pointing downwards, 5 cm deep and 10 cm apart. Choose a sunny spot with loose, free-draining soil. If there is a late frost, cover the shoots with fleece.

Care

Keep the soil evenly moist but never wet. Feed once at the start of flowering, and every two weeks in pots. Cut off faded stems. It 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.
