What is a white ranunculus?

A white ranunculus is a stunning flower that is often mistaken for a rose due to its ruffley petals and elegant appearance. These beautiful blooms are highly sought after, especially in the spring, and tend to sell out quickly at our farm stand.

Each white ranunculus is grown from a corm, which is a bulb-like structure. When planted, these corms produce multiple flowers, usually ranging from 5 to 15 per plant. The flowers themselves are a pure white color, making them a perfect choice for wedding work or any occasion that calls for a classic and elegant touch.

One of the reasons why white ranunculus are so popular is their resemblance to roses. The layers of delicate petals create a full and lush appearance, similar to that of a rose bloom. However, ranunculus have a charm of their own and are often preferred for their unique shape and texture.

When it comes to growing white ranunculus, it is important to note that they typically bloom approximately 90 days after planting. This means that some patience is required, but the wait is certainly worth it. Once in bloom, the stems of the ranunculus can reach a height of 10 to 20 inches, providing a lovely display of these exquisite white flowers.

In my experience, white ranunculus have always been a favorite among customers. Their timeless beauty and versatility make them suitable for a wide range of floral arrangements, whether it be a bridal bouquet, centerpiece, or a simple vase arrangement. Their pure white color also adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to any setting.

To summarize, a white ranunculus is a stunning flower that bears a resemblance to roses but has its own unique charm. These flowers are highly sought after, particularly in the spring, and are known for selling out quickly. With their ruffley petals and pure white color, they are a popular choice for wedding work and other special occasions. Ranunculus blooms approximately 90 days after planting and can reach a height of 10-20 inches. Their timeless beauty and versatility make them a must-grow for any flower lover or gardener.
