Ranunculus ‘La Belle Chocolate’

Features

  • Suitable for containers

Description

This striking variety has petals that curl and wave, giving flowers a ruffled appearance. As blooms age, they take on a rich, rusty-red hue and remind us of paper flowers. While the color doesn’t shout spring, it’s absolutely exquisite.

Varieties in the La Belle series have a shorter, stockier growth habit and are more productive overall than those in the Amandine series.

Details

Height: 10 to 15 in
Site: full sun

Harvesting/Vase Life

Cut when buds are colored and squishy like a marshmallow, but not yet fully open, for a vase life of 7 to 12 days. If the blooms are open when cut, they’ll still last a week but will be more fragile to transport.
