After growing so many hardy annual flowers this year, I was most excited to see the ranunculus start to bloom. Ranunculus flowers were among the very first bulbs (corms, technically) that I ever grew. Imagine my excitement when I was able to find a lot of Amandine ranunculus corms available locally last year. Let’s take a closer look at the ‘Amandine Rose’ ranunculus that grew in my backyard this year. 
Unlike the ‘Marshmallow’ and ‘Juliette’ varieties of ranunculus that I grew this season, I was pleasantly surprised to find that ‘Amandine Rose’ ranunculus were noticeably darker than the others. While I will always love pastel shades, it was quite nice to have another option to use in cut flower arrangements. 
Much like other colors of ‘Amandine’ ranunculus, I was consistently amazed by the size of the flowers and their fluffy double petals. It’s easy to understand why so many people confuse ranunculus with roses – just look at those gorgeous swirled centers!
Have you ever grown ‘Amandine Rose’ ranunculus before? What did you think? If so, I’d love to hear all about your experiences in the comment section below. Thank you so much for taking the time to visit the blog!
those are beautiful!
