Elegance Pastello Ranunculus Corms
Elegance Pastello Ranunculus take on waves of pink shades, ranging from blush, to coral, to bubblegum.
Ranunculus are just so perfect, they're like origami roses. Each corm produces dozens of flowers, and blooms for weeks in the late spring - helping your garden stay vibrant in between the early-spring bulbs and the summer blooms.
Ranunculus grow from corms, which are like little bulbs. Figuring out when to plant is a little tricky but don't worry, we'll talk you through it! Once you get them in the ground they really are not hard to grow.
Includes 15 corms in a cloth bag with planting instructions and a wooden label stake.

 How to Plant |
Soak your corms in room-temperature or cool water for 3-6 hours before planting. Allow a little trickle of water to run into the bowl as they rehydrate, or refresh the water every hour in order to increase the oxygen in the water (bad bacteria and mold spores like warm, oxygen deprived water). Plant immediately after soaking, 5" apart, 1-2" deep, with the little "claws" pointing down |
 Where to Plant |
Ranunculus like rich, well-draining soil. Supplement your dirt with compost or fertilizer when planting in the ground, or use fresh, quality potting soil for containers |
 When to Plant |
In warm zones (generally zones 7-10, 7 being the cusp), plant in the late fall for early spring blooms. If you live in a cold zone, with significant stretches of cold in the winter, (generally zones 6-2), plant in the late winter/very early spring instead, after your last hard frost. Corms can handle a brief, light frost, but will not survive if they are in temperatures below 30 degrees |
 When to Expect Blooms |
Fall planted corms bloom for about 6-7 weeks in the early spring, and spring-planted corms will blossom for about 4-6 weeks beginning in mid-spring. Blooms arrive generally 90 days after planting |
 Care Instructions |
Water regularly once the foliage emerges, and pick the flowers regularly to encourage more blooms. (Bring the flowers in! Make bouquets! Have fun!) And ask us any questions along the way |

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Ask a Question-
I received 3 plants not cords of ranunulus elegance pastello. I am in Colorado zone 5. When can these be planted outside.
Those should be planted now, and then if you are going to get a freeze or hard frost be ready to cover them with frost cloth beforehand! They like the cool weather but won't survive a freeze!
