🌿 What Are Butterfly Ranunculus?

Butterfly Ranunculus are a tissue-cultured Japanese variety created by Aya Engel Co. They are known for their wildflower style, spray stems, each carrying multiple blooms. Their single, semi-double flowers and double blooms have a unique, almost iridescent quality, making them perfect for bouquets and event work. Pictures do not do these justice! Butterfly Ranunculus have a sheen and sparkle to their petals that doesn’t seem real. These plants are twice as large as traditional Ranunculus and can produce up to 7 blooms on a multi stem spray. Ranunculus are a very long lasting cut flower.

🌱 Butterfly Ranunculus Sprouting

The Butterfly series are tissue-cultured, leading to disease-resistant corms and a strong start during sprouting compared to seed-grown varieties. However, the large size of Butterfly corms means pre-sprouting can be slower and requires slightly different procedures to seed grown corms. Check out our Butterfly Ranunculus Tips and Tricks Blog.

Why are Butterfly Ranunculus so expensive?

Butterfly ranunculus corms are expensive because 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.
