Know before you buy
The Elegance series is specifically bred for larger, more robust blooms and overall plant health. These varieties are selected to be more adaptable to different microclimates, resulting in a more reliable and prolific flowering experience.
These ranunculus perform beautifully in containers as long as the pot has excellent drainage. Ensure your container is deep enough to accommodate the 18 to 24-inch mature height and place it in a spot that receives full sun.
Depending on your climate, you can plant these in either the fall or the spring. In warmer regions, fall planting is often preferred to allow the roots to establish before the spring bloom.
Yes, they are excellent for cut flower arrangements. Their long, sturdy stems and full, peony-like blooms make them a favorite for bouquets, and they typically have a long vase life when cut at the right stage.
If you live in a colder climate, you can still enjoy these by planting them in pots that can be moved indoors or to a protected area during the winter. Alternatively, you can treat them as annuals and plant them in the spring after the danger of frost has passed.
Plant the corms 2 to 3 inches deep with the 'claws' facing downward. Space them 4 to 6 inches apart to ensure each plant has enough room to reach its full mature spread.
