Planting
Ranunculus
Plant in spring after the last frost.
These bulbs need full sun and they do best in well-drained soil. Plant them 5 cm (2 in) deep and 8 to 10 cm (3 to 4 in) apart. The bulbs, which resemble a bunch of bananas in shape, should be planted with the banana-shaped part facing down.
Water thoroughly after planting.
Growing
Ranunculus
Well-draining soil is the most important factor in determining where to plant them. These sensitive tubers do not tolerate consistently soggy soil or standing water.
While Ranunculus does not require regular feedings, 10-10-10 liquid fertilizer can be applied, at planting and during the growth process to encourage fuller blooming. Stop feedings after the bloom cycle to prepare the tubers for dormancy.
Care
Ranunculus
These bulbs require frequent watering until they come into flowering. Once flowering, they should be lightly watered.
These flowers last a long time as cut flowers, making them popular for arrangements and bouquets.
Winterizing
Ranunculus
After flowering, the leaves should be allowed to die down. The leaves will gather sunlight and provide nourishment for next year’s show.
These bulbs are not winter hardy and need to be dug up after the first frost. Do not wash but dry the bulbs for a day.
Store away from drafts at 10 °C to 16 °C (50 °F to 60 °F) in a paper bag or box filled with dry peat moss.
