More About Ranunculus |
Ranunculus are cool-season flowers that thrive in full sun to partial shade and moist, well-drained soil. For outdoor landscape planting, select a location in bed, borders, or cutting gardens—anyplace with good soil drainage. If you notice that water still puddles 5 to 6 hours after a hard rain, it's best to find a different spot or amend the soil with organic matter to improve drainage. For outdoor container growing, be sure to choose a container that’s the right size for the number of bulbs you intend to plant and has a drainage hole at the bottom. Growers Tip: In zones 4–7, where they are not winter hardy, Ranunculus should be planted in the spring for flowers in late summer. Containers that can be brought indoors in the winter months are also an excellent option for those in colder climates. Pair with other spring flowers such as Primroses, Pansies, and other spring bulbs. Note that when grown in a container, it may not perform exactly as indicated on the tag - this is to be expected. Also note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden. Be aware that in our climate, most plants cannot be expected to survive the winter if left in containers outdoors, and this plant is no exception. NOTE: Some flowers and plants may be harmful or poisonous to people or pets if touched or ingested. If you require more information before placing an order, please let us know in advance. |
