Ranunculus Double Cappuccino Buttercup Bulbs

Plant Ranunculus Double Cappuccino buttercup bulbs before the first frost in fall, and early the next summer, it blooms in elegant multicolored flowers held aloft finely cut leaves on sturdy stems, rising to a height of 16 inches. The bountiful double blooms resemble peonies, with their intricate layers of sheer, papery, pinkish petals forming a tightly packed rosette displaying subtle hints of a pink picotee. The dreamy flowers give bunch bouquets a soft, romantic look and make charming additions to mixed floral displays that include anemones, lilies, tulips, and roses.

A Ranunculus asiaticus, commonly called buttercup or Persian buttercup, Double Cappuccino is a tuberous perennial with an upright habit. It's shown to best effect when clustered or grouped in garden beds and borders. But buttercup is a great option for containers and pretty patio pots and is a must-have in a cutting garden.

Double Cappuccino buttercup is easy to grow and thrives in USDA Zones 8 through 10. In colder regions, buttercup bulbs can be grown as annuals or they can be pulled, overwintered, and replanted the following spring. Plant Double Cappucino buttercup bulbs 4 inches apart and 3 inches deep with the root claws pointing down. Soak the corms in luke warm water overnight before planting. Place your buttercups in a sunny to partly shady area of the garden that has medium moist, freely draining soil. Water well to settle bulbs, and feed with a well-balanced fertilizer. Remove faded flowers immediately but allow foliage to die naturally and remove when fully wilted to a yellow/brown color. Leaves continue to absorb nourishment that feeds the bulb, improving future growth and blooming. Ranunculus Double Cappuccino is deer resistant.
