Cut Flower Ranunculus - 2nd Year Plants

Ranunculus asiaticus

Italian Cut Flower Ranunculus Plants, grown in Marlborough by Gray Floral, with free standard shipping in NZ.

We are excited to this year offer our 2nd Year plants, which have been grown from seed by us last year, and grown on this season ready to plant out. As our first corm crop was a trial last year, we have a smaller colour range from our favourite Italian ranunculus varieties, and are making them available as mixed 6 packs, with 3 labelled plants of each variety. Our full range of varieties will be available in 6 packs in a few weeks. 

2nd year plants are bigger than seedlings which is why we grow them in pots instead of our usual seedling size, and will flower earlier in the season than the seedlings. The corms can be saved for next year just like the seedlings!

 Pack of 6 2nd Year Large Plants - please select variety options 

Crema/Rosa Chiaro (Buttery cream/Marshmallow Pink)

Pastello/Lemon Pastel (Pastel pink, salmon, blush/Pastel Yellow, salmon)

Milka/Striato (Lilac/Picotee edge white, pink & purple mix)

 Standard NZ shipping included. If you are rural, please select the rural option at checkout to avoid delays in processing your order. 

Height: 25-40cm

Spacing: 20-25cm

Harvest: When the blooms have started to unfurl the outer layers of petals, the best way to tell is to gently squeeze the bud and it should feel soft and squishy like a marshmallow. If the centre still feels hard give them a little longer!

Vase life: 10-14 Days

All our seedlings are grown in a custom cut flower mix which contains Trichoderma to assist in healthy root development and resistance to root pathogens. To give your seedlings the best start in your garden we recommend soaking them in a weak seaweed feed (or one of our "Seedling Shots") before planting. 

We are proud to be partnering with Sustaina Grow to package our seedlings in a wool wrap that maintains moisture and protects the seedlings in transit. On arrival, take your plants out of the box and give them a good drink of water - you can leave them wrapped in the wool to do this! When you're ready to plant or pot on you can unwrap the seedlings, but they will happily spend a couple of days in their wool blanket before planting.

This wool liner makes a wonderful mulch mat that can be used with your seedlings or around any plant in your garden. Everything apart from labels (which we hope you'll use in the garden and time and time again) and stickers are compostable, in an effort to keep our shipping sustainable for the environment.
