I got a packet of ranunculus rhizomes (I think they are rhizomes) at the dollar store the other day. Not the best source for seeds and the like, but they were a dollar. Who can resist?
I have seen ranunculus for sale in the nursery but know nothing about doing them from scratch. I know they are an early spring flower and I am wondering if it is too late to start them? I am right at the split for zones 6 and 7 and I am pretty sure we are done with frost (although, with this winter, I wouldn't be surprised to get a foot of snow next week). Does anyone have experience with starting ranunculus? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
They are so beautiful and I have always admired them at the nursery. Usually, I steer clear of the early bloomers because they are over and done so quickly. And ranunculus tend to be a bit pricey for such a short bloom. I really hope I can get them going.
