Our fall planted bulbs and perennials will provide stunning and gorgeous blooms to your home and garden come Spring and Summer. When you receive the goods, please soak Ranunculus bulbs in water for 6 hours before planting. Select a Sunny, Well-Drained Spot: Ranunculus bulbs thrive in full sunlight, so choose a location that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Prepare Soil for Optimal Growth: Plant Ranunculus in well-draining, slightly acidic soil. Mix in organic matter or compost to enhance soil texture and fertility. Plant Bulbs at the Correct Depth: Plant bulbs about 2-3 inches deep, ensuring the “claw” side is facing down, and space them 4-6 inches apart for optimal growth. Water Consistently, but Avoid Overwatering: Keep the soil moist but not soggy. Ranunculus prefer consistent watering, especially during growth, but ensure good drainage to prevent root rot. Fertilize During the Growing Season: Apply a balanced fertilizer every 3-4 weeks during the growing season to encourage robust growth, healthy foliage, and beautiful blooms.
