How to Plant Ranunculus from Seed

When to Plant Seeds

  • Cool Climates: Start seeds indoors in late winter (10-12 weeks before the last frost).
  • Warm Climates: Sow seeds outdoors in early fall for spring blooms.

Seed Preparation

  1. Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil.
  2. Loosen the soil and mix in compost or organic matter for added nutrients.
  3. Space plants 8-12 inches apart to allow air circulation.

Sowing Seeds

Indoors (Recommended for Best Results): Fill seed trays with moist seed-starting mix. Scatter seeds lightly on the surface and press gently into the soil. Cover with a thin layer of vermiculite to maintain moisture. Place the trays in a cool, bright area (55-65°F or 13-18°C). Use a humidity dome or plastic wrap to retain moisture. Keep the soil moist but not soggy. Germination occurs in 14-21 days.

Direct: In mild climates, seeds can be sown directly into the garden in early fall. Cover with a thin layer of soil and keep moist. Germination may take longer in outdoor conditions.

Transplanting Seedlings Outdoors

  • Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, harden them off for 7-10 days.
  • Transplant into the garden after the last frost, spacing them 8-12 inches apart.

Pro Tip

Soak ranunculus corms for a few hours before planting to speed up sprouting. Plant them in well-draining soil with full sun, and space them out to allow good airflow.

Bonus: For the longest vase life, harvest flowers when they’re in the “marshmallow stage”—soft but not fully open!

Getting to know your Ranunculus

Ranunculus is a stunning, cool-season flowering plant known for its multi-petaled, rose-like blooms in vibrant colors, including red, pink, yellow, orange, and white. It thrives in well-drained soil with full to partial sun and prefers cool temperatures for optimal growth. The plant grows from tuberous roots and reaches 12-18 inches in height. Ranunculus is commonly used in floral arrangements due to its long vase life. It requires regular watering and benefits from fertilization during its growing season. Once the weather warms, the plant goes dormant, and tubers can be lifted and stored for future planting.
