The detail
Bring a burst of sunshine to your garden with Ranunculus Vortex Lemonade. Part of the acclaimed Vortex series, this stunning variety produces large, fully double, ruffled blooms in a soft, buttery yellow. Each petal-packed flower sits atop strong, upright stems, making it equally impressive in borders, containers and as a cut flower for the vase. This set includes three established plants supplied in 1Ltr root-balls, ready to plant out and perform from spring into early summer.
Ranunculus Vortex Lemonade is a reliable garden perennial that thrives in a sheltered, sunny spot with well-drained soil. The Vortex series has been bred for improved garden performance, producing larger blooms and sturdier stems than many traditional Persian Buttercup varieties. Once established, the plants return year after year, gradually forming attractive clumps of deeply divided, fresh green foliage topped with an abundance of elegant yellow flowers.
