How to Plant Ranunculus from Seed

Keep in Mind

Ranunculus plants need full sun and rich, well-draining soil. Prepare the planting area by incorporating several inches of compost into the soil.

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!
