Meet one of our showstoppers Ranunculus Butterfly Hera, a garden goddess with petals to prove it! This award-winning beauty flaunts a double layer of glossy pink petals that blush from soft white tips to rich, rosy centers—like a pink sunset in full bloom. As she matures, her color softens into a dreamy pale pink edged in white, giving each flower a graceful, evolving charm. With blooms that are surprisingly big for a Butterfly type, Hera brings bold color and elegance to borders, bouquets, and everything in between.

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.

Unauthorized reproduction and sale of corms is prohibited by the breeder.

  • • Each stem carries 7 to 10 flowers and may require support such as staking or netting

  • • Petals have a thin layer of wax that gives them a sparkling appearance and a long vase life

    Overall rating: 2.0 / 5 from 1 reviews.

    Planted 5 corms and only two sprouted. Of the two the blooms were nice and pretty similar in color to the phot just slightly different. Didn’t produce too many blooms but that could also be the zone I live in if got pretty hot this spring. If all sprouted and gave me blooms I’d be happy but for the price I don’t think it’s worth it at all for less than 50% germination. Save your money and buy something else

    Store owner replied: Hello Anne. Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re glad to hear that the corms that did sprout produced blooms similar to what you expected, though we understand your disappointment with the overall germination rate and performance. Factors like corm size and warmer spring temperatures can sometimes impact both sprouting and bloom production, especially with ranunculus. We’ve shared your feedback with our growers as we continue working to improve results for our customers. We’re glad we were able to provide a resolution and that you’re satisfied with the outcome. As always, we stand by our products and appreciate you giving them a try!
