There are between 1700 and more than 1800 species of flowering plants in the large genus Ranunculus, which belongs to the family Ranunculaceae. Buttercups, spearworts, and water crowfoots are some of the common names for the species of plants in this genus. This species was the Persian buttercup, Ranunculus asiaticus. This wild, lovely basic flower, which is mostly yellow and red in color, is the ancestor of the garden ranunculus, which has many petals and is full, gorgeous, and mesmerizing. Red, yellow, orange, dark purple, fuchsia, pink, white, cream, and pastel tints are just a few of the color variations available among the numerous cultivars you may grow today. 55-65°F (13-18°C) is the best temperature range for ranunculus plants. Keep them from the cold and the heat.
Plant in full sun to partial shade for optimal growth and flowering.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Use well-draining soil to prevent waterlogged roots and promote healthy growth.
Apply a balanced fertilizer before planting and occasionally during the growing season.
Provide shelter from strong winds and frost.
In cold climates, lift and store the bulbs indoors for the winter.
