  • Description

  • Notes

This plant is a great spring-summer "bulb". You get more "bang for the buck" with Ranunculus. It can be grow from seed and naturalizes in mild climates. The odd-looking rhizme is planted "toes-down". Plant in shady conditions for water conservation.
Planting Instructions: 1. Dig a hole 2 times the width and 1 and 1/2 times the height of the container. 2. Set rootball at ground level. 3. Prepare soil mix of equal parts soil and soil amendment. 4. Backfill with amended soil. 5. Build Basin and water.
