New subbie, I'm in Chicago suburbs too, so glad I found your channel!
Fabulous! Howdy neighbor! :) I'm glad you found me as well. Enjoy this Spring-like weather we're having around here! :)
Jesus, Mary & Joseph 😂. ❤ you. Can’t wait to see these beauts!
😂 Glad you appreciated that. We’ll see if they’re still around next week…love you, Adrienne! Fingers crossed they bloom and I’ll bring you and Julianna some! 🥰
Great video as always Steph. It’s so interesting how different zones can plant ranuculas, where you need to chill them til spring, I direct sowed them in the fall. Your varieties are so beautiful, I’m dying to see them grow to be gorgeous and thrive in your care 🫶
Thanks, Elizabeth! I’m jealous you get to direct sow them…can’t wait to hear how they do! These ranunculus are giving me a run for my money right now, but I’m working on it 😂 Fingers crossed we both see gorgeous blooms this Spring! 🤞😀
Fingers crossed😉🥰, if anyone can do it you can🙌
🍾🤸♀️ i had faith that you would find them 😃. Can't wait to see them bloom. I had such an epic fail with them last year. No plans to try them this year.
Thanks, Terri! :) I sure hope they bloom! I could very well have an epic fail this year...fingers crossed!
Great video. Will follow
Glad you found it helpful!
I tried my first year from Flower Hat last year too but only had a few survive. However I started them in January in Florida in pots and then transferred them to Tennessee when we moved and they didn’t do very well. Now that I have a home to actually put them in the ground, I’m hoping for more success this fall/next spring. I have a huge floral fleur order coming this month 😊
Must've been the move...wishing you luck this coming year! Hope you got some great finds from them!
Great Video! I don't remember you doing these last year. They are gorgeous. So sorry it is so cold there. At 8PM we are holding steady at 70* in central Florida. Tomorrow I'll be potting some succulent starts.
Thanks, Mother Bear! Good for you! Send me pics!
Muy buen trabajo
Thank you, Yesid! :)
🤣 You started my google timer as well!
Bahahaha 😂 Jane, that’s funny. Sorry!
I too was very disappointed with the size of the corms I received from Eden. I will look into purchasing from Fleur. Glad you found Flower Hat order! Grow on
Yes, it's a bit disappointing...I just hope they grow! Fingers crossed! Gosh, I'm so glad I found that order...such a me move to lose it (face palm). Happy planting!
The size is irrelevant. The variety dictates the size.

Thanks, Kimberly! 😀
Another great video. So glad you found your Flower Hat order. Those Hayes corms are huge compared to the others. Glad you showed the different sizes you received. Are you planting anemones this year?
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it! Yep, those Butterfly Hayes corms are gigantic. Yes, I did my anemones today, actually! I did them just slightly different, so stay tuned because that’s coming up 😀
I had better success pre sprouting the corms in complete darkness. I laid a an unopened black trash bag on top of the trays and set the trays in a cool dark room with no windows. I couldn’t believe the difference. My first attempt without the black trash bag was pitiful, but total darkness, they put out great roots.
Yep, I think you’ve got a great point there! My experience was very similar. I’m going to try next year to get my first batch it more complete darkness because I think that’s where they struggled a bit.
I have ruined many ranunculus so many times, just can’t seem to get the light/ water requirements quite right.😂
They are tricky for me too! I know I hear over and over that they're easy, but I beg to differ haha! You're not alone! Hang in there!
I'm in zone 5 too! When did you soak the corms and then plant them in the seed trays?
Way back in January! I soak and plant them (called pre-sprouting) in seed trays the same day!
Can you share with me what you use for a heater in your greenhouse. 5a in vermont
Actually we just use an in home type of heater...nothing special!
Hi, I enjoy your videos. I'm also zone 5 but have no greenhouse. Any advice for me? I purchased a small order of ranunculus forms but haven't started presoaking yet.
I'm still mastering these, but you can definitely still grow them without a greenhouse. Pre-sprout on at a place in your house or garage that stays around 40-50 degrees (I've even seen someone use a refrigerator) and once they've sprouted I've seen people grow them in crates outside (as long as the temps is around 45-55 degrees) and then you can transplant to your beds or if your room stays cool that you pre-sprout them in, grow them on with light there until your temperature allows you to take them outside!
Thanks, our lower level stays 55 or so,.and unattached garage is around 50. I will presoak today!
Hi there I was thinking today I would like to try these. I’m zone 5b in NY. Where coukd I order from this time of the year so I had them before January to soak them? I saw a few Eden reviews that were not great. Who else would you order from? Thanks!
I would search for flower farms that are selling ranunculus. The Flower Hat and Flower Hill Farm are a couple I know off the top of my head. However, I soak and plant them in the Spring.
So I got a plant and they seem to be dying, found this video and I dont know what to do 😢😢😢
Can I sprout these in the house under lights? Is there a specific temperature they need?
Yes, but it needs to be somewhere cool - around 40-50 degrees! Start them in a dark spot and then when you start to see growth after several days, move under the lights!
The moisture control mix is not ideal for Rununculus. You don’t want the soil to hold on to moisture.
Great video! I am new to flower farming and also in zone 5b (southern NH) and have been confused about when to start ranunculus since it's still fairly cold in the spring time, yet there is a quick turnaround to hotter temperatures of 75+ degrees in which case they wouldn't thrive. What is your exact timeline from pre-sprouting to then transferring outside? I can put mine in pots under grow lights in our basement but I'd be worried they would get too large before I'm able to put them outside. I've read several sources that say to plant them 4-6 weeks before the last spring frost, but given it takes 12+ weeks for them to produce, this would mean blooms in August, and it's way too hot here! Thoughts/advice? Thank you in advance!
What is the date of starting?
Last year my first batch was started January 29th and the second batch was started February 12. This year I started all of them on February 11th.

Hi Carmen! I don’t have a Facebook page…and my Instagram is tiny, but I’m on there! Truth be told I’m terrible with social media - I need to up my game 😳 I’m definitely here on TH-cam though! This is where I’m most active.
