An obvious favorite of brides, Wedding Pastel Ranunculus are gorgeous in the garden but even prettier in a bouquet. The tight layers of delicate petals in this mix show off antique blushes, creams, pinks, and yellows. Blooms are long-lasting and do well in cooler climates but can be fall-planted in zones 8 to 10 for beautiful spring blooms. Wedding Pastel Ranunculus make a lovely choice for containers, excellent as a cut flower, and an impressive addition to flowerbeds.

Note: In Zones 8–10, ranunculus are grown as perennials—plant in fall for spring blooms. In Zones 4–7, they are treated as cool-season annuals. Start corms indoors in late winter and transplant after nights stay above 30°F, or dry-store them and plant in spring after hard frosts.
