Ranunculus Romance™ ‘Orléans’ is a softer, more understated variety with a subtle detail that sets it apart. At first glance, the flowers appear creamy white, but on closer look, the petals are lightly marked with fine pink speckling. This delicate pattern gives each bloom added depth and texture, without making it feel busy or overdone.
The flowers are large and well-formed, opening into tight, layered rosettes typical of high-quality ranunculus. The overall effect is refined rather than showy, making it an easy choice for more natural or softly coloured planting schemes. As part of the Romance series, ‘Orléans’ has been selected for stronger stems and reliable performance, both in the garden and as a cut flower.
