Know before you buy
The Cloni Pon Pon series is specifically bred for larger, more ruffled blooms and significantly sturdier stems. These traits make them superior for use as cut flowers compared to standard ranunculus varieties.
Yes, you can grow them indoors regardless of your climate zone. Ensure they are placed in a spot that receives bright, direct sunlight to support their growth and flowering.
Plant the corms 2 to 3 inches deep. If you are planting them outdoors, ensure they are spaced 4 to 6 inches apart to allow for proper airflow and root development.
You can plant these corms in either the fall or the spring, depending on your local climate and whether you are growing them in containers or directly in the garden.
No, staking is generally not required. The Draco variety is specifically selected for its robust, sturdy stems that are designed to hold the heavy, ruffled blooms upright without additional support.
