Ranunculus Romance™ Loubeyres® is a beautiful variety with lovely and large purple flowers. In the early stages, the flower bud can be a bit white, but as the buds mature, they change to beautiful purple and end up becoming very large flowers.
These exquisite, rose-like flowers display layer upon layer of silky petals in bright colors. Ranunculus are a staple in any flower shop or wedding bouquet. In regions with mild winters, buttercups can be planted in autumn for an early bloom in April. In colder regions, they can be planted in spring to ensure an early summer bloom.

The Ranunculus Romance™ series has been created by the Japanese breeder Aya Engei from AYA ENGEI Co., Ltd. It has very large flowers, sitting atop long and strong stems. It is known to have a good vase life.

These corms should be planted in the fall for early spring blooms.
