Butterfly Ranunculus Keramos
Butterfly Ranunculus ‘Keramos’
Keramos opens in a delicate shade of the palest blush — so soft it’s almost ivory, with just the faintest whisper of pink. The semi-double blooms shimmer with a pearly sheen, dancing on slender, branching stems that give them an effortless, airy charm. Ideal for cutting, but just as graceful in the garden, it brings a sense of lightness and quiet elegance to spring displays. Subtle, refined, and beautifully understated.

How to Plant and Grow Butterfly Ranunculus
1. Soak the tubers
Soak the claw-like tubers in room-temperature water for 3 to 4 hours. This helps them rehydrate and encourages quicker sprouting.
2. Choose the right spot
Pick a sunny, sheltered location with well-drained soil. Raised beds, garden borders, or deep containers are ideal. Avoid areas that stay wet in winter.
3. Prepare the soil
Loosen the soil and mix in compost or well-rotted manure for better drainage and fertility. If your soil is heavy clay, add some grit or use pots.
4. Plant the tubers
Plant the tubers with the claws pointing downward, about 2 inches deep and 4 to 6 inches apart. In containers, use a free-draining compost.
5. Start them at the right time
In mild climates, plant in autumn for earlier blooms.
In colder areas, start in late winter or early spring, preferably indoors or under cover.
6. Water gently
Water lightly after planting. Once shoots emerge, water regularly to keep the soil lightly moist — but never soggy.
7. Feed as buds appear
Once flower buds start to form, feed every couple of weeks with a balanced liquid fertilizer to support flowering and healthy stems.
8. Protect from frost
In cooler regions, cover new growth with fleece or a cloche during late frosts. Once established, ranunculus are fairly tolerant of cool, dry conditions.
9. Enjoy the flowers
Expect blooms in spring that last several weeks. For cut flowers, harvest in the morning when buds are half-open — they’ll last beautifully in a vase.
