Maché™ Fire Ranunculus

Maché™ Fire is a red-flowered Ranunculus asiaticus in Syngenta Flowers’ Maché series, identified by product code 70058315. The breeder describes it as bushy, with fully double flowers, a 20–30 cm garden height and width, and early-spring flowering ([Maché Fire product profile](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/emea/fr/product/flower/70058315)). ## Form and Placement The compact, rounded habit fits a pot or a group of containers near an entry, patio, or other close-viewing spot. Strong flower stems hold the layered blooms above divided foliage. The breeder specifically recommends Maché Fire for premium pots and larger containers; its catalog also lists partial shade as the exposure. ## Seasonal Display Treat it as a cool-season spring feature and plan the surrounding planting so the display can transition when flowers finish. The [RHS profile for Persian buttercup](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/14341/ranunculus-asiaticus/details) describes Ranunculus asiaticus flowering in late spring and early summer, while the [North Carolina Extension profile](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/ranunculus-asiaticus/common-name/persian-buttercup/) notes that garden ranunculus prefers cool spring weather and may go dormant in summer. ## Maintenance Use a free-draining container mix and avoid waterlogged conditions. Remove spent flowers during the display if you want to encourage additional blooms, as recommended for the species by North Carolina Extension.
