Ranunculus in Astana — Persian Buttercups, the "Little Peonies", with Delivery
The ranunculus is the peony’s main rival in the floristry of 2025–2026. Its multilayered buds, made of fine, paper-thin petals, are visually indistinguishable from miniature peonies — yet the ranunculus is available all year round, has no overpowering scent, and travels far better. ROZY delivers ranunculus across Astana in 2–3 hours, or in 60 minutes with express service.
It is one of the most sought-after flowers in modern wedding bouquets: brides choose ranunculus for its photogenic charm (it opens up dramatically by the time of the ceremony, growing the bouquet 1.5 times larger), its wide palette of colours, and its year-round availability. For everyday gifts, the ranunculus is a more stylish alternative to roses.

💡 2026 trend: ranunculus instead of peonies
According to our florists, around 40% of weddings with a bridal bouquet in 2026 order ranunculus (instead of peonies). The reasons: available in winter, stable pricing, no allergenic scent, and buds that don’t open too quickly on the first day — so the bouquet stays compact right up to the ceremony. If you’re planning a wedding bouquet, talk ranunculus through with a florist.

What is ranunculus and how does it differ from peonies?
Ranunculus (Persian buttercup, Ranunculus asiaticus) is a bulb flower with a multilayered bud made of fine, paper-thin petals that looks like a miniature peony. Unlike peonies, it is smaller (3–7 cm vs 10–15 cm), with thinner, lighter stems, no scent (a plus for allergy sufferers), and available year-round (peonies are seasonal, May–July). Many brides choose ranunculus over peonies — it looks like a peony, is available in winter, and costs less.
How much does a ranunculus bouquet cost in Astana?
From 11,000 ₸ for 11 stems. The price depends on colour: white and pink are cheaper, while burgundy and purple cost 30–40% more (rare imports). Large bouquets of 25–51 stems run from 26,000 to 65,000 ₸. Wedding arrangements with ranunculus and peonies start at 35,000 ₸.
How long does ranunculus last in a vase?
7–10 days with proper care. The buds open gradually — for the first 2 days they stay fairly tight, then they "bloom" to the fullest, and at that moment the bouquet looks gorgeous. Change the water every 2 days and add flower food for cut flowers. Ranunculus drinks a lot of water, so fill the vase two-thirds full.
Which flowers pair well with ranunculus?
The perfect mix: ranunculus + garden roses + lisianthus + greenery (eucalyptus, pistachio). This is the go-to formula for bridal bouquets and delicate signature arrangements. Don’t combine it with bold red flowers (carnations, gladioli) — the ranunculus gets lost against them.
When is ranunculus the right gift?
It’s versatile: weddings (the bridal bouquet — florists’ top pick in 2026), Women’s Day on 8 March, birthdays, anniversaries, and romantic occasions (burgundy ranunculus is a more stylish alternative to red roses). It’s not suited to funerals or formal events — it’s a very "feminine" and delicate flower.
Can I order ranunculus in winter?
Yes, ranunculus is available year-round — unlike peonies (only May–July). Suppliers grow it in greenhouses in the Netherlands, Italy, and Israel. In winter the colour choice is narrower (priority goes to white and pink), but the core palette is always in stock. Order 2–4 hours ahead and the florist will confirm the availability of specific colours.
