Graces Butterfly Ranunculus

Soft white blooms with green-yellow centers

Graces Butterfly Ranunculus offers a fresh, natural elegance. Its soft white petals and luminous green-yellow centers create a light, airy presence in the garden — more wildflower than formal bloom. Each stem carries multiple open-faced flowers that flutter gently in the breeze.

Plant corms in early spring for blooms in late spring to early summer. Perfect for cut flowers, borders, and cottage-style gardens.

How to Plant & Grow Butterfly Ranunculus

Quick Planting Guide

Planting time: Fall in mild climates (Zones 7–10), or very early spring after frost in colder climates
Soil: Loose, fertile, well-draining
Depth & spacing: 2–3" deep, 6–9" apart
Light: Full sun (with afternoon shade in hot regions)
Bloom: 10–12 weeks after planting (fall planting = late winter–spring blooms; spring planting = late spring–early summer blooms)

Step-by-Step Planting Instructions

1. Prepare the corms
Butterfly ranunculus grow from small, claw-shaped corms.

  • Soak corms in cool water for 3–4 hours before planting (do not exceed 6 hours).

  • The “claw” side points down when planting. If unsure, lay sideways.

2. Pre-sprouting (recommended for best success)
Pre-sprouting gives stronger roots and more uniform flowering.

  • After soaking, place corms in a shallow tray with slightly damp vermiculite, peat moss, or potting mix.

  • Store in a cool, dark spot (around 40–50°F / 4–10°C) for 1–2 weeks.

  • Once white rootlets appear, transplant into beds or pots.

3. Prepare the planting site

  • Choose a sunny spot with excellent drainage — soggy soil will rot corms.

  • Loosen soil 8" deep and mix in compost for fertility and sand/grit if soil is heavy.

  • Raised beds or containers are excellent options.

4. Plant the corms

  • Plant 2–3" deep, 6–9" apart.

  • Water well after planting.

  • In cooler climates, protect with frost cloth until plants establish.

5. Growing on & care

  • Watering: Keep soil evenly moist, but never waterlogged.

  • Feeding: Once shoots emerge, feed every 2–3 weeks with a balanced liquid fertilizer or organic flower feed.

  • Mulching: A thin mulch layer helps regulate moisture and temperature.

6. Bloom time & harvest

  • Butterfly ranunculus typically flower 10–12 weeks after planting.

  • Stems are ready to harvest when buds are soft and petals just begin to unfurl.

  • Regular cutting encourages new blooms.

  • Vase life is 10–12 days, sometimes longer.

Tips for Success

  • Stagger plantings every 2 weeks for a longer bloom season.

  • Protect young shoots from slugs, snails, and late frost.

  • Butterfly ranunculus are prized cut flowers with strong stems, shimmering petals, and exceptional vase life — a true florist’s favorite.

  • Pairs beautifully with anemones, tulips, and other spring bulbs.
