Pastel Peonies Ranunculus Blend

I got these at the very end of 2024, and planted some throughout the spring of 25. (Zone 10A, Northern California). They did ok that first year, but did FABULOUSLY the 2nd year. Lots of whites and light pinks, a few darker pink. I dug most of them up after blooming in summer '25, replanted in the fall, between Sept & Nov. The ones that did the best were those I first planted in 4" pots and then moved into the ground after they had heathy leaves. For me, ranunculus grow best when planted in the fall, for the next spring. I do find that birds like to eat the young leaves, so I cover with chicken-wire cages until they are fairly well established.

I purchased these at the end of 2024, planted some throughout the first few months of '25. They did ok but not spectacularly. I dug up when they were finished & stored til fall, replanted a bunch in 4" pots late '25 - then moved to a bed after they emerged & seemed well-established in maybe Jan '26 - and this March/April ('26) they have been fabulous! A reminder to myself to be patient :) I am in Zone 10A (northern California). About 1/2 white, 1/2 shades of pink - mostly on the lighter side, one or two darker ones. Nice and tall - maybe 20" or so?

These were well packed and grew beautiful. Would recommend. I’m planning to buy more now to plant in the backyard.

Can’t wait to see the flowers in bloom!

All my corms but one sprouted, all plants but 2 grew flowers. Majority of my ranunculus were shades of red, some dark pink, one yellow, two white. They also vary in petal count
