Over time the love for ranunculus made its way to Italy as well, in Italy the climate and soil was perfect to grow ranunculus, especially in the Italian Riviera. The growers started loving the flower and that’s how it became so popular, over time they developed cultivation techniques to better the flower’s qualities such as its range of colors, size and the fullness of its petals.
