VAN ZYVERDEN Grand Freesia and Ranunculus Blend (Set of 25)

We have not seen this done before, but we are combining two very popular bulb types to create a grand mixture of sorts. Freesia and Ranunculus pair well together, as their growth habits are similar. Freesias are available in a rainbow of colors. They are chosen for their visually stunning flowers and extreme fragrance, while buttercups (Ranunculus) are added for their peony-like blooms. Ranunculus are also available in a wide range of vibrant colors. Both varieties are easy to grow, deer resistant, and popular as cut flowers. A fun combination. This grand mixture is a mixture of both varieties, in all of the colors commercially available, including reds, whites, golds, oranges, yellows, and pinks. Plant about 16 bulbs per square foot. They can also be gown in pots indoors. They look best grouped together. Extend the blooming season in a cut garden by planting a few bi-weekly, as they bloom about 10-15 weeks after planting. Soak the corms in luke warm water overnight before planting to jump start development. Plant before danger of frost. Plant the ranunculus with the “claws” pointing downward. In USDA zones cooler than 9, the corks will not survive the winter and should be dug up, should you want to over winter them.
