EXPORT ORNAMENTAL PLANTS

Ranunculus asiaticus
Cut Flowers

Ranunculus asiaticus flowers were initially propagated by time-consuming bulb division. However, the breeding process was accelerated after 1980 by meristem cloning techniques and F1 hybrids were devel-oped. As a result, cut flower production increased. Special characteristics of Japanese Ranunculus asiaticus cultivars are a long shelf life, a wide cultivar range and large flower sizes(middle to extra large).
