These have really become one of my favorite flowers in recent years!
Ranunculus are so pretty and really easy to grow. Plus, they're a great option for container gardening, so just about anyone can grow them.
If you're in zones 9 and 10, they're a cool season flower so we plant them in the fall to get spring blooms. As a bonus, they can be used year after year. You just dig up the corms and save 'em for the next fall!
They're pretty low-maintenance. You need to keep them moist, and the plants will let you know they're thirsty. They only take about a month to give you flowers! You can add a fertilizer as well, especially if you don't have really healthy soil.
Ranunculus make for great cut flowers. Come out early in the morning and give them a snip before the blooms have fully opened. This is also helpful to help the plant put energy into creating more blooms.
At the end of the season, you can either dig them out or dump the whole pot out. Pull out the bulbs and store them in a cool, dry place. That's it!
