Ranunculus asiaticus 'Vortex Orange'

Common name: Ranunculus 'Vortex Orange'

Description: Ranunculus asiaticus 'Vortex Orange' is a stunning double-flowered ranunculus producing large, peony-like blooms in a rich, warm orange that brings vibrant colour to spring and early summer displays. The Vortex series has been bred for compact, uniform growth and exceptionally large, fully double flowers that are densely packed with petals, creating a bold and impactful display in containers, borders, and as cut flowers. The vivid orange colouring is particularly striking in combination with complementary purples and blues, or with contrasting yellows and reds.

Other benefits: large fully double peony-like flowers; excellent as a cut flower; compact uniform habit; outstanding in spring container displays

Wildlife attraction: bees and other pollinating insects

Height & spread (approx.) at maturity: 25–35cm x 25cm

Position: full sun to partial shade; containers, borders, and raised beds; excellent as a cut flower

Soil pH: neutral (pH 6.0–7.0); well-drained, fertile soil or compost; avoid waterlogging especially in winter

Moisture: moderate; water regularly in active growth; reduce watering as foliage dies back after flowering

Winter hardiness: hardy to approximately -5°C; tubers benefit from protection or lifting in colder regions
