The ranunculus is similar to peonies, but the main difference between ranunculus and peonies is, the bloom size is a bit smaller and the flower has a flatter shape. The bloom also has a lot of layers, like a peony, but the space between petals is much more clearly defined.

Ranunculus look like the rose’s cousin. Plump, abundant and wonderfully ruffley, they look so romantic. 

The key differences between garden roses and peonies are the number of petals, bloom time, and cost

Peonies are a seasonal crop, while garden roses are available (with consistent quality) year-round.
