Plant Care & Growing Tips

To ensure your pink ranunculus bulbs thrive, proper care is essential. These bulbs prefer a location with full sun to partial shade, meaning they should receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal flowering. When considering how to grow ranunculus, well-drained soil is crucial to prevent the corms from rotting. Sandy soil is often recommended, as it allows for good drainage while retaining adequate moisture. Moderate watering is key; the soil should be kept consistently moist but never waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings.

Ranunculus bulbs typically thrive in USDA hardiness zones 8-11. Gardeners in cooler zones (below zone 8) can still enjoy these beautiful flowers by planting the bulbs in containers and bringing them indoors during colder months, treating them as annuals or storing the corms over winter. Plant the corms with the ‘claws’ facing downwards, about 2 inches deep and 4-6 inches apart. Fertilize lightly with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer at planting time and again when foliage emerges. Protect young plants from strong winds. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage more flowering. Understanding how to grow ranunculus successfully ensures a rewarding floral display.
