I followed your instructions exactly, and my ranunculus have been a wild success! My garden has never looked so happy. Thank you for helping out this first-timer!
My favorite part of your videos is when you say "and if we haven't met, I'm ..." So very gracious. Every time. I love your content, too. I wish we were neighbors!
Thank you for this. You helped my husband and I settle a debate on what to do with all the dead foliage... I said cut it up and throw out, he said "check TH-cam!". And I'm here to say, he won this one. Your tips were spot on.
This was very useful. I bought several packs and planted in early spring. However, we have unseasonably warm weather this week so I hope it doesn’t adversely affect it. It is now May and no blooms yet just greens. At least now I know the dried out corms are normal. I have mine in self watering containers so I only need to water a few times monthly. I didn’t know I should save corms to plant in October, but now I know. I like the drawer you are labeling and saving all the corms and seeds in. This is a good idea too.
Thank you for the informative video! I’m in zone 10, currently planting these. I’m glad to find another similar zone gardener where I can get some tips since I’m fairly new to gardening.
Hi from Utah! I love learning from you. I love bright yellow ranunculus. They scream spring to me when I need it most. I will be saving my corms from now on. I buy them every spring. I didn't realize you can save them like dahlias. As always love your videos.
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I had no idea we could grow ranunculus in Phoenix! Just planted my first corms yesterday and cant wait to see them grow! 🙌🏵️
Discovered ranunculus accidentally last spring at Lowe’s and I love them…knew nothing about them so I did not save the corms…might still be under the wet snow…your video was so helpful and at my level!
Hi again! I'm so excited to grow ranunculus this year! Do you have any varieties that are your favorites? any colors that are your favorites?if you get time can you do a video on it?
I love your channel thank you for this wonderful information this is my first time planting ranunculus in Texas zone 8. Whish me luck. I am a nurse and love to garden to relax lol. would you share your corms? if you like I can share mine as well. thank you kindly.
In hot climates can we just leave the corms in the ground for next year? If we can, do we still have to water them? I can't seem to find answers about this anywhere!
I love all of your videos. I live in Greece and we have really high temperatures in the Summer like 40-42 oC. I get inspired by your videos! Just a thought after ranunculus video. Do Dahlias also get through the hot sun in the summer? I'd would be really helpfull if you could create a video on Dahlias!!! xx :)
I'm growing my first Dahlias now and they are doing great! When I have learned enough to teach, then I will do a video. Hello from another warm climate here in Arizona. Thank you for your support. I love thinking of other gardeners in hot climates - all of us doing our best to grow in our part of the world.
@@GrowingInTheGarden What a warm, lovely answer from Arizona! Hello, Hello there! Yes, I live myself in agony with the heat of the sun and the soil. For most "frosty" countries the blooms of September are the ones, not that much in August. But for us in the hotter climates, I think we'll be surprised in October or even November! We had our first rains in the 8th of December here in Greece last year... So... let's be delighted by our first experiment with the Dahlias! Thank you for all your advice on hot situations and plant scheduling in your videos!
I live in the Deep South and there is no consistent cool dry place outside to store bulbs. Inside the house the temperature is between upper 60's and low 70's year round. So would a refrigerator work as a storage place for corms? If not, what would work?
Thank you for the great video! I look forward to trying here. I’m not sure they will work in my climate though, we can get lows in the teens into March and then every now and then up to the 80’s and 90’s in April and May. High desert living can be wonky. But I sure would like to try, they’re such beautiful flower!!
Great video! Two questions 1. Can you replant the spring corm that flowered in the fall or do you need to do different corms in the fall and wait a year to replant the spring ones. 2. How do these propagate? Only by seed? Or do the corms grow new baby corms?
this was super helpful, thank you! I live on a subtropical island so no place in my home is both dry and cool, so I save my seeds in the fridge with desiccant packets... would that work for corms too?
I just came across your videos and website early this year and am so grateful to find you! Excellent video, Thank you so much. I grew a few this season in one of my backyard planter areas, but am thinking I'd like to try growing in pots next fall so I can bring out to the front yard too add a big splash of beauty, and then tuck the pots away while waiting for foilage to turn brown before removing corms. How deep should the soil be including the 2" for corm placement?
Hi Angela! I just got mine in the ground and I'm wondering about watering. You say give them a good water and then don't water again until sprouts show, does that mean it's ok if the soil dries up in between planting and sprouting? Or should we keep soil moist but not drenched?
If the soil dries out you can water - typically as temperatures cool the soil takes longer to dry out. So check it before watering. Moist but not drenched is a good idea.
Hello . I just pick up this bulbs at Costco. I never heard or see this plants before but it’s look so pretty. I am in Houston I think 9 or 10. What are suggestions. Grow in ground or pots better. It warm up pretty fast . I know a cool crops . Don’t like the heat. Hope it will grow pretty like the pictures.
YOUR PEONIES ARE VERY BEAUTIFUL!!!🌹💐 IT'S MY VERY FIRST TIME TRYING TO GROW 🪴 THEM FROM BULBS!!! I LEARNED LOTS!!! 😊 THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!!😃👍🏽🙋🏽🔥🙏🏽👑✝️📖🔥🕊️
I live in Montana and just received my corms..and I am really excited and kinda glad the weather is still cold ( so I can plant my corms) but I am running out of time..can I soak for a few hours and plant them? With success?
I recently heard that in southern climates we can leave them in the soil but in your video you’re saying that you dig yours up, but your title states hot climates. What is your growing zone? I know you mentioned high desert but I’m unfamiliar with those locations, as that can be a few places. I’m in 8a GA. I guess I’ll continue to do further research as I just bought some corms. I’m terribly excited to plant this Fall, but if I don’t need to remove them then I need to be more strategic with them when planting in my front gardens. Thanks for the vid.
@@GrowingInTheGardenahhh ok. That makes sense. Thank you for getting back to me. Maybe I’ll run my own experiment and leave half and remove half and see if my climate can tolerate it, especially since it’s been feeling like we are sitting closer to hell these past several Summers in my area 🥵.
Regarding watering after planting those corms, if I have them in pots, should I keep the potting mix moist by watering occasionally until they sprout.. or just leave it alone as suggested?
@@GrowingInTheGarden I transplanted them in different pot with more soil (previously the potting mix was 60% compost and 20% soil and 20% coco peat.) They are now doing well as news leaves are growing thanks, 😊 👍
I bought Ranunculus seeds off Amazon. When should I plant them? I'm in zone 10a and it's mid October 2022 right now. Did I get scammed? Do I have to have those roots instead?
My acorms will sprout but then the tips of the leaves will dry out and turn brown and then it seemingly stops growing. ☹️ how do I fix that? What is causing it?
What happens if corms are left in the ground? Rats dug up most of my corms after I planted them this year and I wonder if they would leave existing ones alone. Thank you!
So far none of mine that I've left in the ground have re-grown. I'm experimenting with some and leaving them in again this year, so we will see. In several climates, yes you can leave the corms in place.
@@GrowingInTheGarden thank you. I think I will leave mine in this year and hope for the best. Along with my dahlia and daffodil bulbs. Let’s hope this doesn’t turn into a costly experiment 😬
Yes, let them die back and then harvest the corms or leave them in the ground and in most climates they will come back. Our summers get so hot that they don't often return here in Arizona, so you need to pull them up.
I've ordered corms several times from reputable companies and I've been so disappointed I never wanted to try again. They were expensive but small and always NOT the colors I ordered - and some didn't come up. I got a credit from Eden Brothers for the wrong color and then they sent the wrong color again! Can you recommend any good suppliers who sell decent sized corms and have good customer relations?😂
I ordered my ranunculus online and I just received them. Daytime temperatures are going to be in the 70’s. Can I store these in a cool place until fall?

Yes, you can replant them in the fall and I've heard you can also grow from seed. The plants do form new corms each season as the plants die back.

I've just finished saving seed from my spent ranunculus, I'll have a go at sprouting them grow new corms. Have you tried this?
Yes, I have mixed results from saving the corms.
I live in Montana and just received my corms..and I am really excited and kinda glad the weather is still cold ( so I can plant my corms) but I am running out of time..can I soak for a few hours and plant them? With success?
Check with local growers, I'm not sure about planting dates for your area.
So we can’t leave the cross in the ground? I don’t have a cool place. My garage is very hot. Any suggestions.
You can try leaving them in the ground, depending on where you live. I haven't had great luck with that here in Arizona.
Can we not leave in ground the ranunculus in Mesa ? Will it rot if it’s drip irrigated ?
I haven't had good luck over summering them

Thank you for your response! I appreciate it
Where did you buy yours? I got some but they are so small. Followed all your tips, hoping for good success. Thank you!
I get the biggest corms from www.easytogrowbulbs.com/
So we cant not leave the in grount after they r dried and season is over? I live in zone 7
You probably can, many areas do. My summer's get too hot for them in my raised beds.
How long can you keep them stored? Thank you 🙏
Usually several months is fine. Check stored corms for rot or sprouting.
How well do they grow in containers? I have that are ready to be planted. Thanks
Great! I’m growing some in grow bags this year and they are doing well.
Thanks for sharing, what happen if you just trim it, would it come back the next year?
Yes, if you live in a mild winter climate.
Do you have to dig up the corms and store? Or is that just suggested best practice?
I've had the best luck doing that. You don't have to though.
I’ve been waiting all year to try these out! Do you think a 12” depth is ok or should I look for a deeper container? Thanks!!
12 inches would be the minimum - but it should work. You'll love them!
@@GrowingInTheGarden i can’t wait!! These have become my favorite flower after watching your video last year!! Thanks!
@@GrowingInTheGarden where would you recommend purchasing corms from? I saw Eden Brothers online but then also not so good reviews 😬

Thanks!
what about its seeds? do the plants that come for seeds grow corms??
Do 80-85 degree day time temperature is ok for them? My all bulbs has sprouted but now leaves are dropping as I started to put them in direct sunlight
Mine have been growing well in those temps. Make sure you have good quality soil and it is deep enough (12-18 inches)

Good morning! Thanks for watching.
My acorms will sprout but then the tips of the leaves will dry out and turn brown and then it seemingly stops growing. ☹️ how do I fix that? What is causing it?
Do ranunculus require any fertiliser or only at time of planting?
I only feed the soil before planting.
Thank you!😊
Great video just wondering can I plant these in containers
Yes, absolutely
Thank you for this informative video on ranunculus! I’m in zone 10, Can I plant the ranunculus corms now in March or do I need to wait till November?
My guess would be in the fall, but if you have some corms you could give it a try and see.
What happens if corms are left in the ground? Rats dug up most of my corms after I planted them this year and I wonder if they would leave existing ones alone. Thank you!
It depends on where you live. Here in the low desert it gets too hot and they burn up. Other areas can leave them in the ground through the summer.
Hi, I’m in zone 9a Las Vegas Nv. If I leave my Ranunculus in the ground do you believe they will come back? Or is it a must to remove?
So far none of mine that I've left in the ground have re-grown. I'm experimenting with some and leaving them in again this year, so we will see. In several climates, yes you can leave the corms in place.
@@GrowingInTheGarden thank you. I think I will leave mine in this year and hope for the best. Along with my dahlia and daffodil bulbs. Let’s hope this doesn’t turn into a costly experiment 😬
I planted three plants close together. Will that make a difference.
It will probably be beautiful with lots of blooms. You may have issues with powdery mildew if the leaves get very crowded.
@@GrowingInTheGarden Thanks
Where can you get them from? The few places I've seen online that sell them have horrible reviews 🙄
I've had the best luck with these corms: amzn.to/45t88zD
@@GrowingInTheGarden Ok thanks I'll check them out
Can I leave them in the ground over winter? We are in 5b.
No, too cold to overwinter in 5b
what do you mean sunlight, is that direct sun?
I live in zone 8, can the corms stay in the ground from year to year?
yes
how bout.. sub tropical or full tropical climate.. will they grow?
Good question, I'm not sure.
Thanks
Beautiful 😍
Thanks!
Will it come back next year?
If you leave the corms in place and you live in a mild winter climate, yes.
@@GrowingInTheGarden O am at southen californiaarea. So it will be too hot? I I have to take out the bubs?
I'm planting them now in Zone 9b...am I too late? I hope not.
No, should be fine
Or could I plant them in a pot and bring the pot inside for winter and just put them back out in spring?
That could work.
Can you save the bulbs from ranunculus ?
Yes, let them die back and then harvest the corms or leave them in the ground and in most climates they will come back. Our summers get so hot that they don't often return here in Arizona, so you need to pull them up.
Where do you buy corms?
I've liked www.easytogrowbulbs.com/
Will Ranunculus harm bees and pollinators? Not sure if it even has pollen. But just wondering.
Not at all. They love it.
Since it’s hot where you’re at can’t you just leave yours in ground?
I haven't had good luck with that. They haven't survived our summers very well. I may try again this year.
How do you know exactly what I want to grow?
Ha! Kindred spirits :)
This was so helpful! Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
I've ordered corms several times from reputable companies and I've been so disappointed I never wanted to try again. They were expensive but small and always NOT the colors I ordered - and some didn't come up. I got a credit from Eden Brothers for the wrong color and then they sent the wrong color again!

I'm with you - they can be disappointing. I've had the best luck with www.easytogrowbulbs.com/ Usually nice large bulbs that are true to type.
I ordered my ranunculus online and I just received them. Daytime temperatures are going to be in the 70’s. Can I store these in a cool place until fall?
Yes.
Love all your videos. That tool you used, I believe is a ‘butt plug’, I don’t think you knew that. Genius use nonetheless.
Oooooh those are corms.
