25 Mixed Ranunculus Bulbs are the perfect addition to your garden, offering a stunning and vibrant color palette. These bulbs produce beautiful blooms that resemble large buttercups in shades of yellow, red, pink, orange, and cream. With their elegant appearance, they blend effortlessly into any garden design, especially in a romantic cottage garden setting. The mixed colors create a breathtaking display, adding texture and depth to your flower beds.
These bulbs require cool weather to sprout, making them an excellent choice for spring and fall planting depending on your growing zone. In zones 4-7, plant them in the spring for a vibrant summer display. In warmer zones 8-11, plant them in the fall for an eye-catching winter bloom. The bulbs need 4-6 weeks of cool weather (evening temperatures between 40-50°F and daytime temperatures between 60-75°F) to properly sprout. If the weather is too warm, the bulbs will remain dormant and take longer to grow, usually 6-8 weeks to sprout.
For optimal results, ensure they are planted in well-drained soil, in a location that receives full to partial sunlight. Ranunculus plants thrive in soil that is kept moist but not soggy, and they benefit from regular feeding during their growing season.
