or rose (without the thorns). The Persian Buttercup was crowned 2025’s Bulb of
the Year. They come in a wide range of colors from pastel pinks and peaches to
deep reds and purples.
Persian buttercups make a great cut-flower and are very
attractive in mixed bouquets.
Ranunculus are cold-hardy in USDA zones 8 to 11 and grown as
annuals in colder zones.
You can purchases Ranunculus tubers In late fall or early
spring. Store them in a cool place (around 50 degrees) until you are ready to
plant them.
Plant them in well-drained soil in full sun.
To give them a bit of head start, soak the tubers in water
for 3 hours and then pot them up in containers about 6 weeks before you plan to put them outside with other cool
season annuals such as primroses, violas, and snapdragons.
Give them a bit of liquid fertilizer and keep them deadheaded
for continual blooming.
