Characteristics and growth habit

The Ranunculus Butterfly™ Helios® grows as a healthy perennial with multiple stems per bulb. Each stem bears multiple flowers, creating a full and lush appearance. The flowers open gradually, providing long-lasting ornamental value in the garden, planters, or vases.

The plant grows best in a sunny location with well-drained soil. With sufficient light, water, and nutrients, it develops strong stems and healthy leaves. This makes the Butterfly™ Helios® suitable for both commercial greenhouse cultivation and for borders and pots in the garden.

What sets Helios® apart is its radiant lemon yellow color, which gives it a fresh, cheerful appearance. The open, butterfly-shaped flowers create an elegant and airy texture, allowing the lemon yellow hue to truly shine. The light color spectrum varies subtly with light and temperature, giving each bouquet or border a unique touch.

The lemon-yellow flowers combine perfectly with other spring and summer blooms such as ranunculus in orange and salmon shades, anemones, roses, lisianthus, and evergreen branches. This creates harmonious, colorful bouquets and arrangements that immediately catch the eye.
