Ranunculus is the flower designers reach for when they want the fullness of a peony without the seasonal limitations. Layer after layer of tissue-thin petals, a rounded shape that photographs beautifully, and a color range that runs from pure white through cream, blush, coral, deep red, and burgundy.
They're a spring flower at heart but available most of the year from growers in California and Europe. Peak season brings the best quality and the widest color selection — but they're rarely disappointing outside of it either.
In an arrangement, ranunculus does two things well — it can anchor a design as the focal flower, or it can support garden roses and peonies without competing with them. Either way it adds a softness that more structured flowers can't.
Arrangements featuring ranunculus may also include complementary seasonal blooms chosen for palette and texture that week.
