Ranunculus (Ranunculus asiaticus) are cool-weather loving, brightly colored summer blooming flowers that are grown from tubers. Also called Persian buttercup, ranunculus produce cup-shaped flowers with delicate petals that resemble crepe paper. Ranunculus prefer grown in a climate where winter is mild and spring is long and cool, according to the National Gardening Association. They are hardy in the USDA zones 8 to 11.
Roots and sprouts will form in the autumn. Winter will bring taller growth and flowers will develop in the spring. When in bloom, feel free to cut ranunculus flowers for bouquets. This will not hurt your plants, in fact, the more you cut the more blooms your Tecolote ranunculus will produce.
