Ranunculus are great cost-effective alternative to roses and peonies, which makes them perfect options as wedding flowers. This bloom was first appreciated by Westerns in the Far East around the thirteenth century, and has increased its popularity since then. This is a mild scented flower with fern like foliage, which may easily serve as a filler or a focal flower, has the meaning “I am dazzled by your charms.”

Ranunculus are available in the following colors: hot pink, orange, pink purple, pink, white and yellow.

This bloom will have a stem length that ranges between 6 to 12 inches long. However, they can reach up to 20 inches long. Each stem will have one bloom per stem, which may range in an inch to two inches in diameter. A single bloom will have dozens of petals, which makes this a very full flower.

Ideal delivery date:

Ranunculus are harvested in different cut stages depending on the time of the year. Sometimes, ranunculus are harvested in an open cut stage, and will need to be delivered one or two days before the actual event. Other times, these flowers are cut closed, and need to be delivered 4 days before the event.

Packaging:

Flower care tips:

Once flowers arrive, the stems need to be cut under running water and placed in a bucket or vase with fresh, clean water. Use a vase or container that is taller than the actual flower. This will make the stems of the flowers remain straight.

    Hi, I am having a Wedding in CT this September 5, 2009. I want to have ranunculus but am realizing it is more of a spring flower. I am wondering if there is still any hope to find this flower anywhere in the world… I am also willing to grow them. I see it takes 6 weeks, would there be a chance with extra care that I could get ranunculus to grow and be in full bloom in early September??! I live in Ohio and my parents live in CT so we would both be willing to grow them! Please let me know. Thanks!
