Description
The Asian ranunculus opens in May and June with densely packed, rose‑like flowers in warm hues ranging from white through yellow to deep orange. It is a prized cut flower with long vase life.
Care instructions
Soak the claw‑shaped tubers in water for three to four hours before planting, and keep them cool from March. Plant after the last hard freeze (early May, week 18) with the claws pointing down in well‑drained, sunny soil. Water evenly but avoid waterlogging. After the foliage has settled, dig up the tubers, dry them, and store them in a frost‑free, dry place for winter.
