Question: How do I grow ranunculus here? When should they be planted?

Answer: Use ranunculus much as you would anemones. Plant them shallowly (2 inches deep and 4 to 6 inches apart) in late winter. They need good drainage and bright sunlight. You can also grow them in large decorative pots with other annual and bulb color plants. Treat them as annuals that you replace each year.
