Ranunculus

Large corms produce superior flowers. Plant in the Fall in zones 6 (mulched) and higher for the earliest blooms. Protect from too much Winter rain as that will rot the corms. Can also be planted in the very early Spring (zone 6 and lower) as soon as the ground can be worked.    Ranunculus needs a cold period of 2-3 months (depending on the variety) to initiate blooming.  If it is too hot when they are planted, they will stay dormant.  They multiply easily and are great in containers.  Excellent cut flowers with a very long vase life.   The corms can be stored dry from one season to the next.
