I couldn't have said it better myself:
"The Italian Ranunculus collection is an improved alternative to the common Ranunculus. The genetic improvements consist of longer stems, increased productivity, and larger blooms with many more petals! They are also much more capable of thriving in a broader range of climates." ~Dutch Grown
About this Variety: What does Sfumato mean? According to Italian Ranunculus:
sfu·ma·to
/sfo͞oˈmädō/
Noun - Art
“The technique of allowing tones and colors to shade gradually into one another, producing softened outlines or hazy forms”.
Yes please!
I mean, just look at those colors: soft blush, cream, pale pink, soft yellow, gimme! We're only able to purchase a certain percentage of these for our overall order. I did not have enough to share with everyone last year, but I got as many as I could. Snag em while you can! There is a reason that Italian Ranunculus are so widely regarded, they are breathtakingly swoon worthy.
DETAILS
Height: 18-24”
*Size: 04/05
Amount of sun: Full sun
Packet contains: 10 corms
*Subject to change based on growing conditions. While corm size naturally varies from season to season, we intentionally source larger corms whenever possible because we believe a great garden starts with great planting stock, even when it costs us a little more. In general, we find the Italian series of corms to be larger and more robust than their counterparts.
