Salmon Ranunculus

(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.
