Plant Care & Growing Tips

Growing beautiful ranunculus starts with proper planting and attentive care. These yellow ranunculus bulbs are relatively easy to cultivate, but understanding their specific needs will ensure a bountiful display. Begin by soaking the bulbs for 3 hours before planting to rehydrate them. Plant the bulbs approximately 2 inches deep in a well-draining sandy loam soil. It’s crucial to provide light moisture until top growth emerges, then transition to moderate watering during active growth. The ideal spacing between each bulb is 4-6 inches to allow for adequate air circulation and growth.

Ranunculus thrive in full sun, requiring ample light to produce their vibrant blooms. For the initial growth phase, after soaking and planting, place them in a warm area without direct sun for about 6 days or until sprouts appear. Once growth begins, gradually introduce them to light. After a couple of weeks in a sunny spot, they can be transplanted to their final outdoor location if necessary. These plants are cool-season tender perennials, best suited for USDA Zones 8-10. In colder zones, they are typically grown as annuals or the bulbs can be dug up and stored over winter.

Maintenance involves regular fertilization in the spring with a well-balanced fertilizer once signs of growth are visible. Consistent watering at ground level is recommended during the active growth period to minimize fungal diseases and maintain flower quality. Applying a layer of mulch helps to keep the soil cool and retain moisture, but ensure the mulch is kept away from the stems to prevent rot. Following this ranunculus planting guide will help you achieve stunning results from your jumbo ranunculus bulbs.
