#ProPlantTips for Care:
Ranunculus thrive in full sun and a touch of afternoon shade in hot climates and will return each spring to greet you with purple blooms. Hardy perennial corms throughout USDA growing zones 8 to 11, Buttercups will thrive in containers if you live in a zone that freezes in the winter. Provide moderate moisture and well-drained soil that won't get soggy. These spring corms hide once summer heat kicks in, so deadhead after the flowers fade but keep the foliage to make food for the corm. Later, trim the leaves down when they turn yellow. For best results, soak your Ranunculus tubers for three to four hours in room-temperature water. Plant the warm weather corms with the finger-like structures pointed down, about 6 inches in depth and water them in.
