Ranunculus Amandine Porcelain | Ranunculus asiaticus | Persian Buttercup
Premium French Ranunculus corms with exquisite creamy blush blooms and a delicate porcelain-like appearance.
Ranunculus asiaticus ‘Amandine Porcelain’ is an exceptional variety from the renowned French Amandine® Series, prized by professional cut flower growers and florists for its large, fully double blooms, strong stems and outstanding productivity.
Amandine Porcelain produces breathtaking, rose-like flowers in an elegant palette of creamy white, soft blush, pale pink and subtle peach tones. The colour can gently vary as the flowers mature, creating a sophisticated, almost porcelain-like effect that makes every bloom unique.
Layers upon layers of delicate, silky petals create exceptionally full flowers with the luxurious appearance for which premium French ranunculus are famous.
Its subtle colouring makes Amandine Porcelain particularly valuable for wedding floristry, bridal bouquets, romantic arrangements and sophisticated neutral-toned floral designs. It combines beautifully with white, cream, champagne, blush, peach and soft pastel flowers.
Each corm can produce multiple strong flowering stems, making this variety an excellent choice for both professional flower farms and home cutting gardens.
The French Amandine® Series is known for vigorous plants, large flowers and strong stems. Amandine varieties generally flower slightly later than many traditional ranunculus and perform well as spring temperatures begin to rise, helping extend the ranunculus harvest season.
Whether grown commercially or in a home cutting garden, Amandine Porcelain is a truly special variety for anyone looking for refined colours and premium-quality cut flowers.

How to Plant Ranunculus Corms
Step 1 – Soak the Corms
Before planting, soak the dry corms in room-temperature water for approximately 1–2 hours.
During soaking, the corms gradually absorb water and become plumper, preparing them for root development.
Avoid excessively long soaking, as prolonged exposure to water can increase the risk of rot.
Step 2 – Pre-Sprouting – Highly Recommended
Pre-sprouting encourages strong root development, uniform growth and reliable establishment.
Fill a shallow tray with lightly moist potting compost.
Place the soaked corms into the compost with their characteristic claws pointing downward.
Cover lightly with compost.
Keep the tray in a cool location at approximately 8–12°C.
The compost should remain slightly moist but never wet.
After approximately 10–14 days, roots and new shoots should begin to develop.
Once the corms have developed a healthy root system, carefully transplant them into their final growing position.
Outdoor Planting
Plant the corms with their claws pointing downward.
Planting depth: Approx. 5 cm
Spacing: 15–20 cm
Ranunculus perform best in fertile, humus-rich and, most importantly, well-drained soil.
Avoid waterlogged conditions, as excessive moisture around the corms can cause rot.
Raised beds are particularly suitable for Ranunculus because they provide excellent drainage.
In regions with mild winters, corms can be planted in autumn for earlier spring flowers and potentially longer stems.
In colder climates, grow under protection or plant in late winter to early spring according to local conditions.
Growing & Care
Keep the soil evenly moist during active growth, but avoid overwatering.
Feed regularly during active growth and flowering with a balanced fertiliser suitable for flowering plants.
Regular harvesting and removal of faded flowers encourages plants to continue producing additional flowering stems.
After flowering, allow the foliage to yellow and die back naturally before removing it.
Avoid excessive moisture once the plants begin entering dormancy.
Autumn & Winter Care
In mild climates, Ranunculus can be autumn planted for earlier spring flowering.
Where winters are colder, plants are best grown under protection or planted in late winter or early spring.
After flowering and once the foliage has completely died back, corms can be lifted if required.
Allow them to dry thoroughly before storing them in a cool, dry, dark and frost-free location until the following planting season.
Harvest & Vase Life
For premium cut flower quality, harvest Ranunculus at the famous “marshmallow stage”.
At this stage, the flower bud should already show its colour and feel soft and slightly springy when gently squeezed, while the flower itself remains only partially open.
Harvest during the cooler part of the day and place the stems immediately into clean water.
When harvested at the correct stage and properly conditioned, Ranunculus generally provide an excellent vase life of approximately 7–12 days.
Regular harvesting also encourages plants to continue producing additional flowering stems.
