Planting & Care Highlights
-
Soak your corms: Before planting, soak your corms in room temperature water for about 3-4 hours to plump them up.
-
Optional pre-sprout: Especially useful in cooler zones. Place soaked corms in damp starter mix with the “legs” pointing down, keep in a cool, dark spot (55-64 °F) for about 7-14 days until root hairs appear.
-
Sunny location & well-drained soil: Choose full sun (or bright part shade if hot) and rich, well-draining soil. These plants thrive in sunshine.
-
Spacing & depth: Plant corms about 8″ apart and roughly 2-3″ deep (for unsprouted corms) when conditions are right.
-
Watering & heat care: After planting and as growth begins, water deeply once a week or as soil begins to dry. Good drainage is key. Note: plants typically slow down when daytime temps rise above ~70 °F.
Hardiness & Planting Zones
These ranunculus perform best in USDA Zones 8-11 as perennials. In cooler zones (Zone 7 and below) they’re best treated as annuals or grown in containers you can protect or move.
