Tecolote Purple

Note: Ranunculus ship starting in late September to late October based on availability and your zone, unlike other products. 

Tecolote Purple is a luxurious ranunculus with a near-velvet texture. Be sure to plant her in full sun for the best growing conditions, and she will reward you with very full and prolific blooms. We recommend pairing these ruffled, purple blooms with orange, apricot, or yellow roses for a complementary color palette in the garden or vase. It blooms in late spring for zones 8–11 to early summer for zones 4–7. In zones 8–11 it grows as a perennial, while in zones 4–7, corms should be lifted, dried, and replanted each spring.

Tecolote Purple is sold in packs of 10 for fall planting.

Planting Instructions: 

Plant Ranunculus in the fall for zones 8-11 for spring blooms. In zones 4-7, store the hardened corms in a cool, dark place and plant in early spring for early summer blooms.

1. Soak corms in room temperature water for 3-4 hours; avoid over-soaking.
2. Choose an area with full sun for planting.
3. Add compost and a balanced fertilizer to your soil.
4. Plant corms 9 inches apart, 2-3 inches deep, with tentacles facing down in the soil.
5. Water after planting and continue weekly watering to ensure the corms do not dry out for the remainder of the growing season.
