(12-16" tall x 16" wide) Known commonly as the
Persian buttercup, Ranunculus 'Tecolote Pink' is a cultivar with multi-layered
cupped blossoms in shades of rosy pink. Silky blossoms unfurl in late spring to
early summer, held above mounding, fern-like foliage on strong stems. Plant in
a sunny location in well-drained soil – tubers of 'Tecolote Pink' prefer a
moist spring and a dry summer. Tubers resemble small claws and should be
planted in a sunny spot. Before planting, soak for a few hours in warm water to
jump start the sprouting process, then plant in a sunny location in moisture-retentive
soil. A spot with good drainage is a must. In colder zones, lift the tubers and
store in a cool dry, dark place over the winter months. Gardeners in warm
climates (zones 8-10) with drier winters can let them overwinter in the ground.
