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.
Ranunculus bulbs grow best if they have six to eight weeks of weather that is 35 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit at night and 60 to 75 F during the day. If you plant them in the late spring or early summer with temperatures above 80 F, they go dormant and not sprout.
