Apricot-salmon blooms with a soft, romantic fade make this variety irresistible for spring bouquets. Ranunculus Butterfly™ Vestalis® opens from deep orange buds, softening to paler buttercream with hints of rose concentrated at the center of each flower for a luminous, blushed finish. With long vase life and prolific stems carrying five to ten blooms each, Butterfly™ Vestalis® is our new cut-flower favorite and an exceptional variety within the Butterfly collection.

  • • Blush of rose “kissed” into the center of each buttercream bloom
  • • Excellent cut flower with a 10 to 14 day vase life
  • • Requires wider spacing due to vigorous habit and larger corms; no need to pinch, branches naturally
