Ranunculus 'Mache Mix' (Mache Series)
Persian Buttercup 'Mache Mix'
Ranunculus is a diverse genus. Some are perennial, and some are annual or biennial plants. They often have a basal rosette of leaves, and some spread by sending out runners that develop new plants at the end of the runners. Some are invasive - but some have brightly coloured flowers that make good cut-flowers, given the right conditions of sunshine and light watering. WARNING: **Many of the species of Ranunculus are poisonous and will severely irritate the skin** The 'Mache Series' Ranunculus are a popular mix as they have compact stems and bold colours. Blooms are ideal for cutting and last for up to six weeks.

Planting
From Late Autumn TO Early Winter
Plant in a light but well drained soil. If your soil remains wet after a downpour, amend the soil with the addition of organic material to raise the level 2-3 inches to improve the drainage. Use peat moss, compost, ground bark or decomposed manure. Site your ranunculus where they will receive full sun. Dig holes and plant the ranunculus bulbs 2” deep and 4”-6” apart.
