Description
The Vortex F1 Lemonade florists' buttercup is part of a series of very recent hybrids selected for their compact habit, well-branched growth, and intense, vibrant colours. This Lemonade variety bears extremely double flowers in a very bright yellow colour, with a small green throat. It is a small, tender perennial bulbous plant that is often cultivated as a biennial. It will bring a sparkling touch to perennial borders and make charming flowering pots. Not content with being adorned in this way, its very pretty flowers also last 3 weeks in a vase. It can be grown in partial shade or full sun, in moist, humus-rich soil.
The Ranunculus asiaticus, also known as the Asiatic buttercup or the Persian buttercup, is a herbaceous perennial plant with tubers, native to the Eastern Mediterranean (Greece, Crete). It belongs to the buttercup family, just like our common buttercup. This botanical species has produced numerous cultivars through hybridization, which are grouped under the name Ranunculus (x) hybrida. The Vortex F1 Lemonade Buttercup is a compact variety that does not exceed 20 cm (8in) in height, with early spring flowering, often used for ornamental containers. From late March to late May, each plant bears many large, very full cup-shaped flowers with translucent petals. These flowers measure 3 to 5 cm (1 to 2in) in diameter and have a whirlwind-like center, which inspired the name of this hybrid series 'Vortex'.
Its foliage forms a rosette. The basal leaves measure 10 to 15 cm (4 to 6in) in length and are pale to dark green, divided into three deep lobes. At maturity, this Asian buttercup can reach a height of 35 cm (14in). It is a moderately hardy plant that can withstand temperatures down to -10°C (14°F). Its root is long-lived and consists of several small elongated tubers, grouped together in a vascular bundle, sometimes called a "claw".
The Vortex F1 Lemonade buttercup can be cultivated in borders, rock gardens, and even in pots on a terrace. It is a very ornamental plant that is also used in bouquets for its excellent longevity. It can be combined in floral arrangements with other varieties of different colours, with old-fashioned roses that resemble it so much, or even with modern roses with perfect shapes, in white or mauve. Nepetas with lavender flowers are also good companions for this variety, as well as lobelias and nigellas. By lifting the tubers in autumn to store them before the first frost, this plant can be cultivated like a gladiolus.

Planting and care
The Florist's Buttercup is planted in autumn, in mild climates or in pots, for early flowering (April-May) or in spring, in cold climates, for summer flowering. It thrives in partial shade as well as in full sun. Place it in a light soil, possibly enriched with coarse sand, humus and fresh water. This plant dreads calcareous soils. In autumn, dig up the tubers and store them in a dry and cool place to protect them from frost as they are not very hardy. Before planting them, we advise you to soak the bulbs for half a day. When planting, plant the tubers in an equal mixture of garden soil, leaf compost and coarse river sand. It flowers 120 days after planting. Planting density: 16 to 20 bulbs per m2.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
