About this variety

Yellow looks like a ray of sunshine in the bed. This ranunculus bears large, densely double flowers whose fine petals wrap around each other in many layers. The shape is reminiscent of a rose or a small peony. Depending on the light, the yellow ranges from pale to strong.

The variety belongs to the Aviv series and is vigorous. It suits beds, rock gardens and pots in sunny to partially shaded spots. With 10 tubers you can plant a large pot or a small group. Violet ranunculus, blue grape hyacinths or white marguerites go well with it.

This ranunculus is ideal for cutting. Each tuber produces several flowers that last a long time in the vase. Cut the stems when the buds are just opening. Yellow arrangements bring joy into the house, on their own or combined with blue and white. Bees find hardly any food in the double flowers. A pot of yellow ranunculus by the seating area lifts the mood at a glance.

Planting

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

Care

Water regularly, as the plant has moderate water needs; avoid waterlogging. Feed once at the start of flowering. Cut off faded stems. The tubers are not hardy: lift them once the foliage has died back and store them dry and frost-free.
