No timeline data available yet for this variety.
Plant corms outdoors directly when soil has warmed to around 60, 70°F and frost risk has passed. Position each corm 6 inches apart with 12 inches between rows, settling them into loose, well-draining soil at a depth of about 2 inches with the concave side facing up.
Ranunculus corms are planted directly outdoors rather than seed-started; sow corms in spring after the last frost date when soil reaches 60, 70°F.
Cut stems when the outermost petals are just beginning to unfold, typically 75, 95 days after planting. Harvest in early morning when stems are fully hydrated, cutting stems at least 8, 10 inches long just above the soil line. Blooms will continue to open in the vase over several days, extending their display life.
No pruning is necessary for this compact ranunculus. Remove spent flower stems at the base once blooms have faded to redirect energy into continued flowering and corm development.
