‘Amandine Purple Jean’ ranunculus produces fully double flowers in rich mauve-to-purple shades, with closely layered, rounded petals. It adds depth to bouquets and flowering containers during the growing season after a spring start. Each packet contains five claws for planting.

In spring, plant outdoors after the local risk of frost has passed, or start the claws in frost-free pots a few weeks earlier. Choose a sunny location and well-drained soil. First soak the claws in room-temperature water for 3–4 hours. Plant with the claws pointing downwards, approximately 5 cm deep and 10 cm apart.

For bouquets, combine the mauve blooms with white, cream or pink flowers. Keep the soil lightly moist during growth and remove faded blooms. Protect this seasonal plant from freezing in cold Canadian regions; do not ingest it and wear gloves if your skin is sensitive to the sap.
