Ranunculus Butterfly™ Meslissa® - 5 Pack

5 Corms ship fall 2025 (see the shipping description below for details) Ranunculus Butterfly™ Melissa® features soft pink blooms with a subtle, open “eye” at the center, giving it a delicate and airy look. Buds start out a light creamy hue and gradually shift to a gentle blush pink as they open. With tall stems and plenty of blooms, Melissa® brings both elegance and abundance to the garden or vase—graceful, but never boring. The petals have a thin waxy coating that gives them a subtle shimmer and helps extend their vase life—they don’t just look good, they last. With its fresh, just-picked feel, Ninos® fits right in with today’s love for field-style bouquets and natural arrangements. Bred by: Aya Engei. Vibe: Soft, fresh, and quietly showy in all the right ways. Butterfly ranunculus are the show-offs of the ranunculus world—and not in an annoying way. They’re special for a few solid reasons: Petal Power (Literally) Butterfly ranunculus have fewer petals than traditional ranunculus, but what they lack in volume, they make up for in drama. Their petals have a natural sheen, almost like they’ve been airbrushed with silk or dipped in gloss. That shine? It’s due to a waxy layer that gives them a soft, almost iridescent glow. They're not called “butterfly” for nothing—there's a delicate, airy vibe like fluttering wings. Stems That Go the Distance Unlike their fluffier cousins, butterfly ranunculus have tall, strong, and branching stems—usually producing 5–7 flowers per stem. That’s a ton of bloom bang for your buck. They’re basically multi-taskers in plant form, which is a dream for both gardeners and floral designers. Tougher Than They Look They seem dainty, but they’re actually hardier than the standard varieties—less prone to rot, more forgiving if your soil isn't perfect, and longer-lasting in the vase. Color Variety That Slaps They come in a mix of soft pastels to moody hues—peach, rose gold, smoky plum, lemon, bronze, even some with picotee edges (yeah, that's the fancy term for multicolored petals). Great for mixing or making a statement. TL;DR: Butterfly ranunculus are the effortlessly cool cousin of the standard ranunculus—low maintenance, high style, and wildly productive. Want some for your garden or bouquets that don't look like everyone else's? Butterflys are the move. Photo Credit: Green Works, Fuirk Home
