Ranunculus Brushmark César® is a distinctive variety that stands out for its softly patterned petals. The flowers open in a clean white, with the outer edges lightly brushed in pink to purple tones. This subtle contrast gives each bloom a hand-painted look, adding interest without feeling overly bold.

Part of the Brushmark line within the Ranunculus Novelties group, and bred by Aya Engei, this variety focuses on detail and refinement rather than just size or colour. The centres remain bright and clear, while the coloured edges bring depth and variation as the flowers open.

The blooms are full and well-shaped, with a slightly more open form than traditional ranunculus, which adds to their character. It also performs well as a cut flower, with strong stems, good stem length and a reliable vase life, making it a practical choice as well as a decorative one.
