Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your pink ranunculus bulbs will ensure a spectacular display of flowers. These resilient plants thrive with specific conditions, making them a rewarding addition to your garden. Begin by soaking the tuberous roots for 3 hours before planting. Then, plant them 2 inches deep in a sandy loam soil that retains moisture but drains well. Initially, cover the planted bulbs with saran wrap and place them in a warm spot for about 6 days or until sprouts appear, ensuring no direct sunlight during this initial phase. Once growth emerges, provide light and gradually add more soil around the developing plants. After approximately two more weeks in a sunny location, they will be ready for transplanting into their final garden spot.

For ongoing care, ensure your ranunculus receive full sun exposure. Water lightly until top growth is established, then maintain moderate watering during active growth, aiming to water at ground level to minimize fungal issues. Fertilize in the spring with a well-balanced fertilizer as new growth appears. Maintaining a layer of mulch helps keep the soil cool and moist, but be sure to keep the mulch away from the stems to prevent rot. These practices will support healthy growth and abundant ranunculus flowers. The plants typically reach 10 to 12 inches in height.

These bulbs are best suited for USDA Hardiness Zones 8-10 as tender perennials, though they can be grown as annuals in colder climates. Properly following this ranunculus planting guide will help you achieve the best results, whether you’re aiming for a lush garden bed or a continuous supply of beautiful cut flowers. Pay attention to soil moisture and sunlight, and your ranunculus will reward you with their stunning pink blooms.
