Ranunculus Tomer Purple

The Tomer ranunculus is a dwarf breed of the Persian buttercup, making an excellent addition to containers, patios, or windowboxes - even borders. Their double, peony-shaped flowers up to 6 cm / 2½" across, come in a wide range of colors, including red, white, pink, rose, yellow, gold, orange and purple!

Flowers are compact, held on stems up to 25cm / 10" high.

These exquisite, rose-like flowers of ranunculus are a staple in any flower shop or wedding bouquet. In regions with mild winters, buttercups can be planted in autumn for an early bloom in April. In colder regions, they can be planted in spring to ensure an early summer bloom.

Even better, the blooms are great for cut flowers, with a vase life of up to two weeks.

Tomer is very tolerant of wind and rain.
The blossoms display layer upon layer of silky petals in bright colors.
