Watch with wonder as the tightly-packed flower buds of Ranunculus 'Elegance® Striato Rosa' unravel, revealing layers of silky pink petals which are each defined by a contrasting dark purple edge. It's difficult to find a flower so fascinatingly detailed and petal perfect as the Ranunculus Elegance varieties—it's almost unreal how intricate their blooms are. These are really special pretties to have growing in the garden, and with large blooms and long stems, they’re also a top treat for florists and flower arrangers.

The colour combination of pink and purple is dreamy and romantic and looks especially at home in a pastel planting scheme or cut flower arrangement. Ranunculus 'Elegance® Striato Rosa' needs free-draining soil which does not become too dry—find a sunny spot for them because they need lots of light, ideally they should be grown in borders or large pots because they like plenty of root space. Over winter, they appreciate some protection from harsh frosts.
