There is an elegance to Salmon Tecolote® Ranunculus that will effortlessly elevate the garden or cut flower arrangements. Plants hold their blossoms above lacy, sun-loving foliage in late spring. This soft peachy flower is a florist favorite, both for its elegant flowers and strong, straight stems. Plant in fall in zones 8-11 for early spring flowers. In colder zones, plant indoors or plant in spring for summer blooms.

USDA Hardiness Planting Zones
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
(18-24”tall x 12” wide) ‘Salmon Tecolote®’ Ranunculus, one
of the carefully bred Tecolote® series, is a flower that exemplifies the
elegance and delicacy of Persian buttercups. The silken petals are a delicate
shade of salmon held in full blossoms atop long, straight stems. Foliage is
lacy and very attractive. Persian buttercups appreciate a cool spring. In
climates where they are hardy, plant in fall in moist, well-drained soil two
inches below the soil line. They will emerge in early spring and bloom with
large, multi-petaled flowers in mid-spring. For best results, ensure that
winter soils are not wet. For cooler regions where they are not hardy, plant in
early spring after the last frost, for a slightly later bloom time; the bulbs can
be planted in pots to make them easier to bring indoors or lifted in fall and
kept in a frost-free location.

Planting Guides
Ranunculus have spectacular looking blooms and make for long lasting cut flowers. Growing ranunculus can be tricky. These bulbs can be planted in the fall or spring, depending on where you live. In warmer USDA zones, they are considered cool-season perennials. Ranunculus is popular in the southern and western United States (zones 7 and above), where they are planted in the fall, grow through the winter season and bloom in March. They are very sensitive to frost.
In zones 6 and below we suggest only planting ranunculus tubers in the spring as they are not very cold hardy. They should be planted outdoors after the last frost date.
Ranunculus are also popular for indoor planting. If you live in a colder zone (zone 6 or below) and wish to get an early start for your garden, ranunculus can be planted indoors as early as February, and can be transplanted outdoors after chance of frost. They'll begin blooming in June or July. Ranunculus can go dormant with too much heat, so don't place them near radiators.
Ranunculus prefer cool weather, require well-drained soil and full sun (except in warmer climates, where they will need light or partial shade). The tubers should be planted 2" beneath the soil surface, about 6" apart. Water after planting, soaking the area. Don't let the tubers sit in water or they will rot. After new shoots appear, keep the plants evenly moist.
