Ranunculus blooms are not the easiest bulb flowers to grow, but who can resist? Hardy only to frost-free areas, they can be successfully grown almost anywhere, as long as you give them full sun and a fast-draining soil. Their size makes them perfect for containers – just make sure to have drain holes!
These beauties are treated as annuals, throwing dramatic flower after flower all summer long. If you've never seen them, imagine a multi-petaled oriental poppy with a straight stem or a huge double tulip in unforgettable coloring. They open like a big rose with many petals unfolding. Grow these and your neighbors will be amazed!
Many florists and gardeners cut Persian Buttercups as the centerpiece for a floral arrangement. Their straight stems, show-stopping blooms, and long vase life make them a knockout in the home, office, or as a thoughtful present to a friend!
