Ranunculus asiaticus 'Red' (Pot Size 10.5cm) Persian Buttercup sold by Boma Garden Centre

The Persian Buttercup, or Ranunculus asiaticus, is a treasure in any British garden, offering a splash of vibrant red that captures the essence of spring and early summer. This bedding plant is renowned for its lush, peony-like flowers that sit atop slender stems, surrounded by a bed of bright green, deeply lobed leaves. Ideal for planting in borders, containers, and as part of a cut flower garden, Ranunculus Red adds depth and contrast when paired with softer pastel blooms or silver-foliaged plants. Complementary plants that enhance its beauty include Lavender, for a striking colour and texture contrast, and soft-hued Tulips, which together create a captivating display. This plant thrives in a sunny spot, enriching the garden with its layers of petals, drawing in pollinators such as bees and butterflies, thereby supporting biodiversity.
