In Victoria, the best time to plant ranunculus corms is in early spring. Here are some tips for planting corms:
When to plant: In Victoria, plant ranunculus corms in early spring. In cooler regions, plant in March and April, and in warmer areas, wait until May.
How to plant: Plant corms 3 inches deep and 6 inches apart. Plant with the pointy end up, or put them on their side to find their own way up.
Soil: Ranunculus prefer well-drained loam with added organic matter.
Sunlight: Ranunculus prefer full sun for best flowering.
Watering: Once corms have sprouted, keep moist but not wet.
Feeding: Add a controlled-release fertilizer in late winter, and add bulb food when flowers fade.
