PLEASE NOTE: The bulbs seem very Dry, it is essential to soak corms in water overnight prior to planting



As the corms soak, they will plump up, often doubling in size.



Ranunculus corms have pointed ends that look a lot like claws. Make sure these “claw-ends” are facing down as you plant them.



An irresistible color for anyone who loves purple. These Persian roses have shapely buds that open into gorgeous flowers with layers of tissue-thin petals. In areas with mild winters (zones 8-11), ranunculus are planted in fall or in spring .



Ranunculus are cool season perennials with exquisite, multilayered flowers that come in stunning purple color. Ranunculus are a natural fit for, beds and containers. Their long-lasting, origami-like flowers and straight stems make them excellent as cut flowers.



Though often referred to as a bulb, ranunculus occurs as a corm—a uniform, undifferentiated structure composed of stem tissue, specifically developed for the purpose of storing food. Ranunculus does best in regions with mild winters and long, cool springs. Fall is the ideal planting time in such areas. Those with colder winters can plant in late winter–early spring, once the threat of hard frosts is over.



When you are ready to plant ranunculus, you should soak them in room temperature water for 3-4 hours. Keeping water running on them will allow more oxygen to the corm. Now this is the fun part, as they soak, they will double in size looking like a little octopus! This gives them a little head start to growing those beautiful blooms. And if you want even more of a head start you can pre-sprout the soaked corms. Fill a tray with moist soil like a seed starting tray. Cover the corms with the moist soil and place under a grow light in a cool place (around 50º F) like a basement. Check them every few days.
