Persian Buttercup 'Tecolote Purple', Turban Buttercup 'Tecolote Purple', Persian Crowfoot 'Tecolote Purple'
Ranunculus asiaticus ‘Tecolote Purple’ (Persian Buttercup) is a tuberous perennial boasting large, rose-like, bright purple flowers, 3-6 in. across (7-15 cm), adorned with multiple layers of delicate, silky petals and darker centers. Prolific, each plant produces masses of very long-lasting, double blossoms atop sturdy stems. Rising above a lush foliage mound of finely-cut leaves, they bloom for about 4-7 weeks in late spring to early summer in cold climates (planted in spring), or in early-mid spring in mild climates (planted in fall). Whether treated as perennials or annuals, they add brilliance to the garden and make magnificent bouquets with a vase life of 7 days.
