Butterfly Phytalos

Butterfly Phytalos is a Butterfly ranunculus, a Japanese-bred series from AYA Engei that looks nothing like the classic densely doubled ranunculus. Sold in 40-stem bunches on 50 cm stems, each stem branches into several open-faced blooms with a silky, almost translucent sheen rather than carrying one packed head. Buds that arrive closed keep opening in the vase over several days, which is why Butterfly types hold 7 to 10 days and why a single stem gives airy, wildflower movement you can't get from a standard ranunculus. PetalDriven ships ranunculus farm-direct and overnight anywhere in the US with free shipping, unarranged and ready to process, at wholesale prices with no tax ID required.

Shipping Info

• Free US shipping on every order.
• Ships FedEx Priority Overnight for next-day delivery.
• Pick your delivery date on the calendar when you add ranunculus to your cart. The calendar shows the next available date.
• Delivery is available Tuesday through Friday. We recommend Tuesday–Thursday, since a Friday arrival leaves no working day to sort out a problem before a weekend event.
• Schedule delivery so the ranunculus arrive 1–2 days before your event. They ship in tight bud and open quickly once they're in water and out of the cold.
• Ranunculus arrive boxed and unarranged, with no signature required. The stems are hollow and soft, so plan to have someone there to get them into water on arrival.

Care and Processing Instructions

1. Unbox as soon as they arrive. Ranunculus travel in tight bud and look unimpressive in the box; that's what you want, because it means you get the full bloom life.
2. Fill a clean vase or bucket with only 2–3 inches of water. Ranunculus stems are hollow and rot in deep water.
3. Strip any foliage that would sit below the water line.
4. Cut about 1 inch off each stem at an angle with a sharp knife or shears. Don't crush the stems.
5. Change the water and recut every day. Hollow stems foul water faster than any other flower you'll handle, and dirty water is what kills them early.
6. Keep them cool to hold them closed, or bring them into a warm room to open them fast. Ranunculus respond to temperature within hours, which makes them easy to time to an event.
7. Keep them away from ripening fruit. Ranunculus are ethylene sensitive and a fruit bowl on the same counter will shorten their life.
8. Expect movement. The stems keep growing and bend toward light, so an arrangement will shift shape over a day or two. Most designers treat that as the point of the flower.
