5 Corms per order.
Butterfly Ranunculus Corms; Minoan; shades of Bronze, Red and Orange in large blooms with light and airy paper like petals that echo butterfly wings.
Pictures do not do these justice! These very hard to find Butterfly Ranunculus have a sheen and sparkle to their petals that doesn’t seem real. Delicate petals echo butterfly wings but are very resilient. These plants are twice as large as traditional Ranunculus and can produce up to 9 blooms on a multi stem spray. Butterfly Ranunculus are going to be the ‘IT’ flower for 2026. We expect to see tons of event and wedding arrangements featuring all the shades.
*HHF Tip: Butterfly corms are large! Pre-sprouting can take longer than Amandine corms. Be Patient! We allow for 3-4 weeks additional Sprouting time before transplanting Romance and Butterfly ranunculus.

Why are Butterfly Ranunculus so expensive?
The tissue culture process is labor-intensive, low-yield and takes three years. Many varieties are patent protected limiting production. This produces disease-free, florist-grade flowers with large blooms and long stems well worth the premium pricing.
