Ranunculus Vortex Red Persian Buttercup Plants (Set of 3 or 6)

Bring a stunning display of rich, red blooms to your garden with the Ranunculus Vortex Red. Part of the sought-after Vortex series, this Persian Buttercup produces exceptionally large, fully double flowers with beautifully layered, ruffled petals that create a rose-like appearance. Each bloom opens to reveal densely packed petals in a deep, vibrant red, making it a standout in borders, containers and floral arrangements alike.

The Vortex series is prized by gardeners and florists for its impressive flower size and long vase life, making these plants equally at home in the garden or as freshly cut stems in a vase. Flowering in both spring and autumn, these elegant plants provide colour over an extended season, brightening up patio displays, beds and borders when many other plants have finished flowering.

This set includes 3 or 6 established plants, each supplied in a 1 litre root ball, ready to plant out in a sunny, sheltered spot with well-drained soil. Once planted, they require minimal fuss and reward with generous flushes of showy blooms throughout the flowering season.
