Ranunculus asiaticus 'Vortex Golden Yellow'

Common name: Ranunculus 'Vortex Golden Yellow'

Description: Ranunculus asiaticus 'Vortex Golden Yellow' is a magnificent spring-flowering ranunculus producing large, fully double, peony-like blooms in a rich, glowing golden yellow. The Vortex series is noted for its exceptionally large, densely petalled flowers and compact, uniform growth habit — qualities that make it outstanding in containers, spring borders, and as a luxury cut flower. The warm golden colouring brings a sunny brightness to late-spring displays and combines beautifully with oranges, creams, and soft blues.
