Ranunculus are fashionable flowers that bloom from spring onwards and come in a wide range of colors. While the term ranunculus covers all plants in the buttercup family, it is the type known as Persian Buttercups that are commonly referred to as ranunculus and are popular in flower beds for their bold colors and impressive blooms.
Ranunculus do have a reputation for being difficult to grow and getting the planting correct can be the first hurdle to overcome. While many bulbs are cold-hardy and can handle winter temperatures and frost, this is not the case for ranunculus bulbs.
