Dreamy white cream, the Snowstorm Butter Cups (Ranunculus 'Snowstorm'), also known as Ranunculus, are creamy blooms with layer upon layer of concentric petals! Each delicate silky petal is a creamy white with delicate ruffled blooms. These lusciously full blooms are absolutely elegant!
Each corm can form multiple blooms for a lasting display! Pollinators adore these blooms and you'll be delighted to watch fat bumblebees and honeybees, and butterflies squeeze themselves between the tightly packed layers! The clumps of mounding parsley-like green foliage are the perfect lacy foil for the lovely blooms.
You'll of course want a few of these luscious blooms to create decadent bouquets! Snowstorm Ranunculus are hardy outdoors as perennial corms throughout USDA growing zones 8-11 and stay in tidy mounds 16 inches tall when in bloom. Cooler growing zones can enjoy these bulbs as annual accents or lifted before frost and stored like you would Canna or Elephant Ears.
Planting and Application:
Persian Buttercups even make an excellent and showy container choice in areas that won't freeze in winter. But because Snowstorm Buttercups are bridal-quality creamy white blooms jam-packed with layers of papery petals, you'll want to plant multiples! Plant multiples to have armloads of these flouncy blooms! Whether it be as a single-variety mass planting by your garden bench or as a border row for edging, or as filler beside your patio pavers.
Once these spring and summer blooms fade, the beautiful foliage all growing season along your garden edges and borders, in groupings, or as filler in planters and window boxes! Once the blooms arrive, bees and butterflies appear to sip the nectar and provide you with plenty of cut flowers for gorgeous bouquet focal points!
- Creamy White Blooms Packed With Papery Petals
- Long-Lasting & Heavily Layered Blooms

- Gorgeous Textured Foliage

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Just be sure your Snowstorm Ranunculus gets to enjoy full sun and well-drained soil. These spring corms hide once summer heat kicks in, so deadhead after the flowers fade. Later, trim the leaves down when they turn yellow. For best results, soak your Ranunculus corms for three to four hours in room-temperature water. Plant the corms with the finger-like structures down about 6 inches in depth and water them in well.
- Full Sun & Partial Shade
- Enriched Well-Drained Soil
- Moderate Moisture
- Hardy Warm Weather Perennial Corms
- Deadhead as Flowers Fade & Prune Down When Greenery Yellows
