Ranunculus ‘Elegance Rosa Striato’ is a true standout in the spring garden — a variety bred for its show-stopping beauty and exceptional bloom quality. This Italian-bred ranunculus produces layers upon layers of silky petals in soft blush pink streaked with delicate rose-pink striations. Each flower is a work of art, resembling a hand-painted watercolour rose.
Perfect for cut flower lovers, ‘Rosa Striato’ offers long, strong stems and a generous vase life, making it a favourite among floral designers and gardeners alike.
Excellent Cutflower providing 4 to 8 stems per plant, with a vase life of 9 to 13 days.
Our Ranunculus seedling plug plants are garden-ready, robust, and fully hardened off, making them ideal for both home gardeners and cut flower growers.
The small cylindrical plugs are made from a special blend of peat and coir. They’re designed specifically to support strong root development. Producing a highly productive plant ready to thrive in your garden.
Seed-grown ranunculus will develop a corm by the end of the season, which you can either store for next year or leave in the ground to perennialise.
