I have worked with A.D.R. Bulbs for almost 5 years now, and my company has sourced bulbs with them for longer than that. Communication is great - from ordering, to deliveries, to follow-ups on final product. I love the quality of the product as well as the service. We plant nearly 100,000 bulbs and A.D.R. keeps the whole process easy for us!

Ranunculus Aviv 'Mixture' (Ships in Spring)
Persian Buttercup
Ranunculus 'Aviv Mix' is a vibrant blend of Persian Buttercups featuring densely layered, rose-like blooms in shades of red, pink, white, yellow, and orange. These flowers are prized for their long-lasting beauty, making them ideal for cut arrangements, containers, and garden borders. Blooming in spring or summer, depending on planting time, this variety thrives in full sun with well-drained soil and requires consistent moisture during the growing season. Hardy in USDA zones 8 to 11, it can be grown as an annual in colder climates, with tubers lifted and stored for winter. The long, sturdy stems ensure excellent performance in floral displays. Zones 8-11 plant in fall for early spring flowers. Zones 4-7 plant in early spring for summer flowers.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Ranunculus Aviv 'Mixture' (Ships in Spring)
Planting: Start as early as the soil is workable—typically late winter to early spring. Soak tubers in room-temperature water for 1 to 3 hours to plump them up. Plant claw-side down, 2 to 3 inches deep. In colder zones (3–7), pre-sprout indoors in trays for 2–3 weeks before transplanting outdoors after frost danger passes.
Spacing: Space 4 to 6 inches apart. For dense displays, aim for 50–75 tubers per square meter.
Light: Full sun is essential—at least 6 hours daily. Choose a sheltered spot with good air circulation.
Soil: Fertile, well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0–7.0. Amend with compost or leaf mold to improve structure.
Watering: Water after planting and keep soil lightly moist during active growth. Avoid soggy conditions—ranunculus tubers are prone to rot.
Temperature & Protection: Ranunculus prefer cool spring temps (50–65°F). Once established, they tolerate light frost but benefit from row covers in unpredictable weather.
Fertilization: Feed every 2–3 weeks with a high-potash fertilizer once growth begins. Liquid seaweed is a great organic option.
Pruning: Deadhead regularly to encourage more blooms. After flowering, allow foliage to die back naturally.
Pest & Disease: Watch for aphids, slugs, and powdery mildew. Good airflow and hand-picking pests help prevent issues.
