Our "Bloom or Bust" Promise

Orange, often admired for its orange, green colouring, is a corm variety especially well suited to pots & containers.

For a touch of sun-warmed colour with a decidedly refined air, Ranunculus 'Orange' is a splendid choice. Its richly saturated blooms open in generous, layered rosettes—beautifully poised in pots and truly invaluable for cutting, where the colour lifts both simple and formal arrangements.

Plant the corms into a bright, sheltered position with sharp drainage. In colder spells, a little winter protection is well judged; this variety is Half Hardy and appreciates being kept safe from hard frosts.

  • Colour: Orange blooms over mid-green foliage
  • Best for: Pots & containers, and cutting
  • Habit: Clump-forming, upright—neat and well-mannered in the border

Where to Plant:

Ranunculus 'Orange' needs full-sun, partial sun and a warm, sheltered position for the best flowering. Plant into fertile, humus-rich soil that drains well, and choose a spot protected from strong winds, especially for taller varieties.

How to Plant:

Plant corm from September to December once conditions are suitable. Set them at the correct depth for the variety, spacing 15–20cm apart where relevant, then firm in gently and water well after planting.

Aftercare:

Water regularly in dry weather and feed every two to three weeks once buds appear. Stake taller stems early and deadhead to keep plants flowering. After flowering, allow foliage to die back naturally before lifting or protecting corm according to local conditions.
