Unveiling Elegant Stripes: Ranunculus Elegance Bianco Striato Corms

Add a touch of refined artistry to your garden with Ranunculus Elegance Bianco Striato. Each captivating bloom displays delicate pink petals with a thin, elegant edging of rich burgundy-red, creating a unique and sophisticated visual.

Part of the esteemed Elegance Italian ranunculus series, these plants produce large, fully double flowers packed with petals, blooming on strong, impressive stems that reach 40-60 cm tall. Mature plants will provide a spectacular show over a generous 6-week period. This variety is perfectly suited for high-quality cut flower production, making it a favorite for florists or for creating stunning displays in beds and borders.

Beyond its striking appearance, Ranunculus Elegance Bianco Striato is also a beneficial addition to your garden, actively attracting bees and butterflies. It thrives in fertile, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. For best results, ensure full sun exposure, though it appreciates afternoon shade when temperatures climb above 38°C.

To grow Ranunculus from tubers, start by soaking the tubers in cool water for a few hours until they plump up. Then, plant them in a well-draining potting mix with the “claw” side down, covering them with about 2 inches of soil. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, and provide a cool, dark location for pre-sprouting. Once they develop roots and shoots, they can be transplanted to a sunny spot with well-draining soil, or into larger containers for greenhouse growing.
