Tecolote - Jumbo size Ranunculus Corms 'Mixed Pastel' (Persian Buttercup), size 8+ corms

Tecolote® — field-bred in California over decades offers lush Ranunculus blooms at a friendlier price than Italian-grown Elegance® or Success®.

Color Note: Pastel pink, rose pink, white, and yellow

Size: 5/7 centimeters in diameter, the largest available size. Larger corms typically produce stronger plants, more flowers, and bigger blooms compared to smaller sizes. Make sure you know the size of the corms you are buying, many sellers leave out this detail.

Growing Note: Ranunculus can be tricky to grow in many areas of the U.S. The key to growing them well is knowing when to start them in your particular area. They HATE the heat so if you start them too late they will not flower well and terminate. They are also not winter hardy in zones lower than 8 and are prone to rot and being eaten by mice and voles. In general Ranunculus take about 90 days from rooting to flower and they will need cool weather (evening 40-50° & daytime 60-70°) weather. If too warm, they will stay dormant. I would always recommend soaking and pre-sprouting these corms - I would never just plant them as is and hope for the best - they are far too finicky in my opinion. Once you get your timing right you will be rewarded!

Zones 8-11 plant in fall for early spring flowers
Zones 4-7 plant in VERY early spring/late winter for late spring flowers
