Know before you buy
Yes, Salmon Tecolote Ranunculus are excellent for containers. Ensure your pot has good drainage and is deep enough to accommodate the 18-24 inch height of the stems.
Absolutely. Their long, straight stems and multi-petaled, silken blooms make them a florist favorite and a perfect choice for fresh-cut flower arrangements.
While they are hardy in zones 3-10, they perform best as perennials in milder climates. In colder regions, you should lift the tubers in the fall and store them indoors over the winter to protect them from freezing temperatures.
These plants thrive in full sun to partial sun. For the best results, place them in a spot that receives at least six hours of sunlight daily.
You can expect these to bloom in mid-spring to early summer. They thrive in the cool temperatures of spring, which encourages their profuse, delicate blossoms.
Plant the tubers approximately 3 inches deep. Ensure the soil is well-draining, as these plants prefer low-water conditions once established.
