Ranunculus Butterfly™ Musa® – Dynamic ranunculus with red to salmon-coral flowers

The Ranunculus Butterfly™ Musa® is a unique ranunculus cultivar that stands out for its dynamic color gradient. This flower begins as a red to salmon-colored bud and slowly transforms into a warm salmon-coral as the flower opens. This interplay of colors gives the Musa® a vibrant and surprising appearance, making it a perfect fit for modern bouquets, arrangements, and borders. As part of the Butterfly™ series, the Musa® is known for its open, butterfly-shaped petals and high ornamental value.

Characteristics and growth habit

The Ranunculus Butterfly™ Musa® grows as a healthy perennial with multiple stems per bulb. Each stem can bear several flowers, resulting in a full and lush appearance. The flowers open gradually, revealing the color gradient from red to salmon-coral. This slow development extends the plant's visual appeal, both in the garden and in a vase.

The plant thrives 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™ Musa® suitable for commercial cultivation, as well as for borders, planters, and pots in gardens.

Color and ornamental value

What makes Musa® truly special is the color spectrum that changes during flowering. The bud starts with a striking red to salmon hue and gradually develops into a warm salmon-coral flower. This transformation creates a dynamic and elegant effect, giving bouquets and borders a playful and luxurious look.

The open, butterfly-shaped flowers enhance the color play and create an airy, graceful structure. This ranunculus is ideal for combining with other spring and summer flowers, such as anemones, roses, lisianthus, and other ranunculus in complementary colors, for a harmonious and colorful composition.

Use as a cut flower

The Ranunculus Butterfly™ Musa® is an excellent cut flower thanks to its sturdy, straight stems and multiple blooms per stem. It has an excellent vase life, allowing the flowers to retain their color and elegance for a long time.

With its color gradient from red to salmon-coral, Musa® adds dynamism and warmth to bouquets, table decorations, and luxurious arrangements. The flowers add volume and movement to any arrangement, creating a vibrant and striking effect.
