It’s time to plant you ranunculus corms. Planting them now and over-wintering will make for stronger, sturdier and slightly earlier flowers. Don’t fear if you’re not that organised, you can still sow a batch in late winter/ early spring for flowers just a few months later.
From the corms I am sowing today, by next April, we will have some of the most elegant, beautiful, sumptuous, fantastical and fairy-tale, joy-making flowers that you can ever imagine.
All being well, and if the mice don’t get their gnashers round these delicious (to them) corms and new shoots, these ranunculus should be some of the first blooms that customers will receive in the Spring. I always think the name ranunculus makes the flower sound like it might not be ‘all that’ - Persian Buttercup is a prettier alternative perhaps?
