Ranunculus have won the hearts of florists and buyers for their exquisite beauty and versatility. Their exquisite, airy and layered buds, reminiscent of both roses and peonies, fascinate with their elegance. They have become an essential component of wedding bouquets, romantic compositions and stylish interior solutions.

Ranunculus occupy a place in the premium segment of the flower market and significantly exceed, for example, the cost of roses. Nevertheless, their popularity continues to grow rapidly in recent years that stimulates growers to expand the range of varieties, improve cultivation techniques and improve packaging.

In the modern flower market, ranunculuses are usually classified by collections, each of them includes several unique varieties of different shades. As a rule, the collections differ from each other in the shapes of buds and their stylistics. Some varieties have individual names, while others are designated by color. In our flower catalog, the names of Ranunculus varieties are systematized as follows: first the name of the collection, then the name of the variety or color.

Ranunculus grown in Ecuador and Colombia usually have stems up to 30-50 cm long.

Ecuador

Ranunculus grown in Ecuadorian farms located at an altitude of 2,500-3,000 meters above sea level grow in a favorable mild climate with cool nights and warm days.

This unique factor provides Ecuadorian ranunculus with a number of advantages, among which we can highlight:

• big bud size - in the blossomed state, the diameter of buds can reach up to 8-10 cm.
• bright and saturated shades - from delicate pastel tones to deep and expressive colors.
• long period of vase life - can keep fresh look up to 10-12 days with proper care.

Ecuadorian growers offer several collections of ranunculus, each of them has its own unique features:

• Elegance collection
• Success Cloni collection
• Pon Pon collection
• Butterfly collection

Ecuadorian growers pack the ranunculus in bunches of 10 stems. QB (Quattro Box) or EB (Eighth Box) boxes are available:

• 120 stems/ EB box (Eighth Box)
• 240 stems/box QB (Quattro Box)

However, these are just approximate figures, as box size standards are not uniform

Moreover, the number of stems in a box may depend on the particular farm growing it, as well as the collection (variety). For example, ranunculus from the Success Cloni collections can be packed with 100 stems in a QB (Quattro Box), while ranunculus from the Elegance collection are often found packed with 160 stems in a QB (Quattro Box)

Colombia

Colombian farms are located in regions with a temperate climate and stable humidity. This is conducive to growing ranunculus with bright, rich colors and sturdy stems. Colombian ranunculus also have a fairly good longevity in the vase.

Compared to their Ecuadorian analogues, ranunculus from Colombia are often sold at a more attractive price.

In Colombian farms, you can mostly find ranunculus collections such as:

Ranunculus from Colombia are available for packing in QB (Quattro Box) or EB (Eighth Box) boxes. Depending on the growing farm, variety and bud size, pack rates may vary. The most common are:

• 100-140 stems/ EB box (Eighth Box)

Finally, we would like to emphasize that ranunculuses from Ecuador and Colombia are of high quality, resistant to transportation and have a long vase life. The ideal climatic conditions of these countries - stable temperatures, moderate humidity and plenty of sunlight - allow the year-round cultivation of flowers.
