Ranunculus Bulbs: Planting & Care Tips

Ranunculus corms can be planted in the fall in warmer climates or in the spring in cooler climates. In zones 6 and north, start the bulbs indoors in the spring for best results. Select a spot in the garden that receives full sun to partial shade with well-drained, sandy, slightly acid soil. Before planting, soak the ranunculus corms for 3-4 hours in warm water. Plant the corms 4" deep and 4" apart. The "claws" on the corms should be pointing downward. Ranunculus flowers perform best in climates with cool nights and sunny, but not hot, days. They grow best when the soil around the crown is dry, but the roots are moist.
