Ranunculus

Ranunculus is adored for its lush, rose-like blooms that come in an array of bright and pastel colors, including shades of pink, red, orange, yellow, and white. With layers of delicate, papery petals, ranunculus flowers bring a romantic, elegant touch to both gardens and floral arrangements.

In the garden, ranunculus grows best in full sun and well-drained soil, making it a popular choice for spring gardens in zone 5. The plants are typically grown from tubers, producing an abundance of blooms in late spring. Ranunculus prefers cooler temperatures, so it often thrives best in early-season gardens.
