DESCRIPTION: Ranunculus asiaticus is a native of Anatolia and has been cherished for centuries for its vibrant, richly colored blooms. Its striking varieties—featuring shades of yellow, red, white, orange, and pink—were introduced to Europe alongside tulips at the end of the 16th century. These natural forms are the ancestors of the modern cultivars we admire today. Reaching a height of 25-40 cm, Ranunculus asiaticus is characterized by its deeply divided, ovoid-shaped compound leaves and its typically double flowers, which resemble miniature peonies. To cultivate these beautiful plants successfully, it is essential to plant the tubers at a depth equal to twice their height. Each tuber consists of a central plate with small, curved, tooth-like structures that serve as nutrient reservoirs. These should always be positioned downward when planting in a sunny or at least partially sunny location. For optimal growth, soaking the tubers for two to three hours before planting is recommended. They thrive in rich, well-draining soil with moderate organic matter content. Proper spacing is also crucial—following the "one on, two off" rule ensures that each plant has ample room to develop. Planting in dense groups rather than spacing them too sparsely will create a fuller, more impressive display. Ranunculus plants are sensitive to frost, so they should be protected from extreme cold. During the growing season, watering with a weak nutrient solution every three weeks—using a diluted liquid fertilizer for flowering plants—promotes healthy development. Consistent moisture levels are key: while prolonged drought should be avoided, excessive soil humidity can also be detrimental, particularly in heavy soils with poor drainage. Peony-flowered Ranunculus blooms in spring, but with careful planning, the flowering period can be extended. By staggering the planting of spring-purchased tubers over several weeks, you can enjoy their dazzling display well into early summer, provided the soil maintains a moderate level of moisture.

PACKAGING: This package contains 10 bulbs of ranunculus (mixed colors), each with a circumference of 6/7 cm (approximately 2 cm in diameter). The attractive packaging features a photo and planting/flowering instructions, making it an ideal gift.

HOW TO GROW: Plant the bulbs about 4-5 cm deep in full sun, either in a pot or in the ground. Space the bulbs about 3-4 cm apart. Ensure the soil is rich and well-drained, and water moderately.
