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.

🌸 Features:
Variety: Ranunculus Butterfly™ Ariadne® – known for multiple blooms per stem and a sparkling petal finish.
Bloom Type: Light pink, single-petaled blooms with waxy petals and a luminous sheen.
Height: Grows 18–24 inches tall with branched stems.
Blooming Season: Blooms in late spring to early summer.
Uses: Ideal for cut flower gardens, bouquets, event design, and romantic borders.
Unique Trait: Multiple flowers per stem and long-lasting vase life make it a florist favorite.

🌿 Planting Instructions:
Soak Corms: Soak corms in room-temperature water for 3–4 hours before planting.
Soil & Location: Prefers rich, well-draining soil in full sun to light shade.
Planting Depth: Plant corms 1–2 inches deep with “claws” facing down, spaced 4–6 inches apart.
Watering: Keep soil evenly moist but never soggy during active growth.
Climate Tip: In mild climates, plant in fall for spring blooms. In cooler areas, start indoors 6–8 weeks before your last frost date.

🌿 Care Tips:
• Cut stems just as buds are beginning to open for maximum vase life.
• Remove spent blooms to encourage new growth.
• Mulch to conserve moisture and protect from temperature swings.
• After blooming, allow foliage to die back naturally before lifting and storing corms in a cool, dry place.
