Delicate Beauties

Both peonies and ranunculus have many petal layers, but the ranunculus petals have a bit more definition and look very delicate when opened, making for a fresh and elegant arrangement. The centers of ranunculus can also vary depending on the variety, so they may look similar to peonies or appear denser like poppies. The picture-perfect petals may also remind you of roses, but they are wider and more airy looking.

There are hundreds of varieties, so you can find ranunculus in every shade from deep, rich colors to pretty pastels and match the color to your mood, the season, or your favorite color family.
