Pre-Sprout (Optional but Recommended): Place soaked corms in a shallow tray filled with lightly moist, sandy loam soil. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and keep in a warm location with no direct sunlight for 5–7 days, or until sprouts appear. Initial Growth: Once sprouted, lightly cover corms with additional soil and introduce indirect light. Transplanting: After approximately two weeks of sun exposure and continued growth, transplant outdoors. 💡 Tip: Ranunculus thrive in cool weather — plant in early spring or fall depending on your region. 🌿 Care & Maintenance Watering: Water lightly until top growth emerges, then moderately during active growth. Always water at ground level to minimize fungal issues and flower discoloration. Fertilizer: Apply a well-balanced fertilizer in spring when growth first appears. Mulch: Maintain a light layer of mulch to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature, keeping mulch away from stems to prevent rot. Cut Flowers: Ideal for bouquets — straight stems, long vase life, and abundant blooms make ranunculus a florist favorite. 🌸 Why You'll Love Picotee Pink Romantic blush-pink blooms with elegant deeper rose picotee edging Densely layered, peony-like dome — refined and show-stopping Long-lasting cut flowers with exceptional vase life Thrives as a cool-season bloomer — perfect for spring gardens Premium 7/+ cm hand-picked nursery-quality corms 10 corms per pack — enough for a stunning border or cutting patch Order Includes 10 Premium Dormant Ranunculus Corms (7/+ cm) Hand-inspected before shipping Planting instructions included Ships early fall.
