These ranunculus seem as if they should be gathered in a sweet vase at a Parisian cafe. Yes please! They have large flowers on long, sturdy stems and will last a long time wherever you place them. Some say their blooms are rose-like or peony-like, but we think they have their own sweet perfection, especially this multi-colored combo of bronze, yellow, and rosy red.
Note: In Zones 8–10, ranunculus are grown as perennials—plant in fall for spring blooms. In Zones 4–7, they are treated as cool-season annuals. Start corms indoors in late winter and transplant after nights stay above 30°F, or dry-store them and plant in spring after hard frosts.
