FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

Can I plant Ranunculus corms now in the UK?

Ranunculus corms can be started in pots from autumn in a cool, frost-free place, or planted outside in spring once hard frosts have passed. They need a sunny, sheltered position and soil that drains freely.

Should I soak Ranunculus corms before planting and which way up do they go?

Soak the dry corms in room-temperature water for around 3 to 4 hours before planting to rehydrate them. Plant them with the claw-like points facing downwards, around 5cm deep.

Can I grow Ranunculus in pots?

Yes. Ranunculus grows very well in pots, provided the container has good drainage. Use a free-draining compost, place the pot in full sun and water lightly while plants are growing, never allowing the compost to become waterlogged.

Why have my Ranunculus corms not grown?

Cold, wet compost is a common cause of corms rotting before they sprout. Keep newly planted corms cool but frost-free, use free-draining compost and avoid overwatering until shoots appear.

Will Ranunculus come back every year in the UK?

Ranunculus needs a dry dormant period after flowering and is not reliably hardy in cold, wet UK winters. In milder, sheltered gardens it may return, but many gardeners treat it as a seasonal flowering plant or grow it in pots for easier winter protection.
