PLANTING & CARE INSTRUCTIONS

PLANTING

Soil Preparation

Great gardens start with great soil!
Soil preparation is essential for successful gardening.

Flower bulbs prefer loose, well-drained soil rich in organic material.
Start by removing weeds, rocks and debris from the planting area.
Loosen the soil to a depth of approximately 12 inches and mix in organic matter such as peat moss, compost, manure, or a combination.
This is especially important if you are planting in an area with heavy clay or ground that tends to hold moisture. Properly preparing the soil before planting will keep the bulbs from rotting and helps the roots to access oxygen and nutrients in the soil. This is a crucial step to ensure happy, healthy and beautiful plants.

NOTE: It is important to store bulbs correctly until they are planted. Unpack the bulbs and store them in a cool, dry place with plenty of air circulation, where the temperature is between 40-70℉.

Bulb Planting Instructions

Bulb Planting Instructions

Before planting, soak the corms for 2-3 hours in lukewarm water to add moisture back to the corm; this helps to jump start rooting.
Plant the ranunculus in the fall when the ground cools and before the first hard frost. Outside temperature should be about 65℉ or cooler.
Select a well-drained location that receives full sun to partial shade.
Dig a hole 2-3″ deep in loosened soil and place corms in the hole. Corms should be spaced about 2-3″ apart.
Plant corms with the “claw facing down” pointing down.
Cover with soil. After planting, water well once so that the soil above the bulbs settles. Fertilize the corms with bulb food after planting to help them get established and grow strong new roots. Once planted, the soil needs to remain moist.

Ongoing Ranunculus Care

Caring for your Ranunculus after they bloom is rather simple. Once they fade to yellow and dry up, do not cut the foliage or water, they will move into dormancy. Gently remove the dried-up foliage, leaving them where they are to absorb the sunlight that helps produce the energy needed for next year’s blooms. They should bloom again next spring. Corms can also be dug up and stored in a cool place to dry out before you plant them next year. To do this, carefully dig around the plant with a trowel and lift the stems out. There should be a collection of corms which you separate gently with your hands then store and replant the following year.
