Ranunculus Butterfly™ Ariadne® Corms

Ranunculus Butterfly™ Ariadne® brings a graceful, romantic presence to any garden or floral arrangement. This exceptional variety features soft pink blooms with a delicate shimmer, thanks to a fine wax coating that enhances its beauty and extends its vase life. Unlike traditional ranunculus, Ariadne’s stems carry multiple blooms, up to five to seven per stem, creating a lush, branching display perfect for cutting gardens and wedding work. With its single, airy flowers and ethereal texture, Ariadne is a must-grow for flower lovers seeking something truly special.
