Extremely double tangerine orange flowers top off the deep green, divided leaves on this non-hardy bulb. Maché Orange Persian buttercup (Ranunculus asiaticus 'Maché Orange') is popular with homeowners as a forced bulb in early spring, and with the cut flower industry later in the year as a highlight in bouquets. Plant breeders have hybridized the native Persian species with others to produce a series of hybrids better adapted to cool, temperate climate conditions, but full sun and well-drained soils are still critical to this flower's success.
