Ranunculus 'Lemonade' (3 x 13cm Pots)

Plant Information

Description

The Lemonade ranunculus is a beautifully full, multi-petalled flower, with blooms that have the delicate appearance of a rose or peony. This charming variety produces elegant, soft lemon-yellow flowers, each held on a long, slender stem. Each stem generally produces a single flower, but regular deadheading will encourage the plant to produce further flowering stems throughout the season.

A wonderful choice for adding a touch of spring colour, Lemonade ranunculus is relatively easy to grow and enjoys cooler temperatures. It performs best in a sunny position, ideally receiving at least six hours of full sun each day. It also grows well in containers, making it an excellent choice for patios, balconies and smaller garden spaces where there is plenty of sunlight.

Take care not to overwater your ranunculus, as waterlogged soil can cause the roots to rot. Keep the compost lightly moist, watering regularly while allowing the surface to dry out slightly between waterings. Try not to let the compost dry out completely. Feeding every 2–3 weeks with a balanced fertiliser will help encourage healthy growth and a succession of beautiful blooms.

With the right care, Lemonade ranunculus will reward you with a lovely display of soft, fresh colour from March onwards, with flowering lasting around 4–6 weeks once it begins.
