Ranunculus - Ranunculus Asiaticus



Botanical Name: Ranunculus Asiaticus

Family: Ranunculaceae

One Ranunculi corm can produce more than 20 flowers.
To keep blooms coming for a longer period, regularly cut off any dead and dying blooms.

These little bulbs will keep your garden and house in flowers for many weeks.


Watering:  Water well after planting; soak weekly until shoots appear, then only to supplement rainfall.  Prefer a well-drained soil.

Pest & Disease: bait snails when buds appear.  Mildew can be a problem in autumn.

Lifting and Storage: best treated as annual or bi-annuals and new bulbs replanted every 1 to 2 years.

Tip: plant with claws facing downwards.  To kick-start the growing process soak the bulbs in a bowl of water for around an hour before planting.  To ensure success with outdoor planting, start in trays of seed raising mix.  Keep moist in a cool position.  Transplant 3-4 weeks after sprouting.
