Ranunculus Double Yellow Buttercup Bulbs

Ranunculus Double Yellow buttercups grow to a charming 16 inches tall, blooming prolifically for several weeks in early summer. These heavy bloomers set large, cup-shaped flowers that recall peonies or roses, with layers of bright yellow petals. Perfect for sunny summer bouquets or vibrant mixed floral arrangements, these long-lasting blooms bring cheer to any setting.

A Ranunculus asiaticus species, commonly known as buttercups or Persian buttercups, Double Yellow thrives as a perennial in Zones 8-10. Gardeners in cooler Zones can grow these flowers as annuals or lift and store the corms indoors for the winter. Their radiant blooms create a stunning impact when planted in clusters or masses in gardens, containers, or pots.

Double Yellow ranunculus flourishes in sunny to partly sunny spots with medium moist, well-draining soil. Remove spent flowers promptly to encourage continued blooming but allow the foliage to naturally die back before trimming. Deer resistant and easy to grow, these flowers make a striking yet low-maintenance garden addition.

Plant Double Yellow buttercup bulbs in warm spring soil after the last frost. Space them 4 inches apart and 3 inches deep, claws facing downward. Soak corms overnight in lukewarm water before planting to encourage faster growth. After planting, water thoroughly and fertilize for vibrant blooms.
