Know before you buy
Yes, these are excellent for containers. Ensure your pot has good drainage and is deep enough to accommodate the 18-24 inch height of the plants.
Italian Ranunculus are generally hardy in Zones 8-10. If you live in a colder climate, you can treat them as annuals or dig up the corms in the fall to store them indoors over the winter.
Depending on your climate, you can plant them in either the fall or the spring. In milder climates, fall planting allows the roots to establish before the spring bloom.
Each order includes 5 Italian Ranunculus corms. We recommend planting them 4-6 inches apart to ensure they have enough space to thrive.
Absolutely. Their sturdy stems and large, long-lasting blooms make them a favorite for cut flower arrangements.
For the best performance and largest blooms, plant your Ranunculus in a location that receives full sun.
