✨ Key Features of 'Seine®':
- Timeless, Elegant Color: 'Seine®' unfurls into large, high-petal count blooms of a perfect light, clear, blush-pink. The petals often display a subtle gradient, transitioning to a delicate ivory near the edges, giving the bloom depth and complexity.
- The Romance™ Standard: Part of the elite Romance™ series, these corms are known for their strong, straight stems (reaching 18-24 inches) and robust performance in the garden and vase. They are bred to deliver consistent, high-quality flowers.
- A Florist's Dream: The dreamy color and superb form make 'Seine®' the perfect companion for roses and peonies, effortlessly elevating any bouquet or centerpiece into a luxury creation. It has an excellent, long vase life.
- Abundant and Productive: This variety is a reliable and richly flowering producer, ensuring you are rewarded with multiple beautiful stems from each corm.
Exceptional Stem Strength: Produces long, sturdy, and strong stems (typically 18–24 inches tall) that are less prone to bending or breakage, making them ideal for cutting and arranging.
Vase Life: Has an excellent, long vase life, which is a key reason it is favored by professional florists for events.
Productivity: It is a productive, richly flowering clone variety, yielding multiple high-quality stems per corm.
Harvest Stage: For the best vase life, blooms should be harvested at the "marshmallow stage," when the bud has colored up and feels soft and springy before fully opening.
Growing Traits
Growth Type: Part of the Romance™ series, it is a clone (vegetatively propagated) Italian ranunculus, which ensures consistent color, quality, and performance compared to seed-grown varieties.
Optimal Climate: Ranunculus are cool-weather lovers. They perform best in temperatures between 40–65°F (5–18°C). They will stop blooming in persistent heat.
Planting:
Mild Climates (Zones 8-10): Plant in Autumn for late winter/early spring blooms.
Cold Climates (Zones 3-7): Plant in Early Spring after the danger of harsh frost has passed for late spring/early summer blooms.
Soil: Requires rich, fertile, and extremely well-draining soil to prevent the corms from rotting.
