Know before you buy
Cloni Success refers to an in-vitro propagation process. This method ensures the corms are disease-free and genetically consistent, resulting in more vigorous plants and larger, more uniform blooms compared to standard varieties.
Italian Ranunculus are generally hardy in zones 8-10. If you live in a colder climate, you can treat them as annuals by planting them in the spring, or grow them in containers that can be moved indoors during freezing temperatures.
Each order includes three corms. For the best results, plant them 2-3 inches deep and space them 4-6 inches apart to allow for proper airflow and root development.
Yes, these are excellent for cut flower arrangements. They feature thick, sturdy stems that hold the heavy, ruffled blooms upright, and they have a long vase life when harvested at the right stage.
Yes, these ranunculus perform best in full sun. Providing at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily is essential for developing their deep purple color and ensuring the stems remain strong.
