Many thanks you have answered all my questions and more this was my first year of ranunculus à bit hit and miss but beautiful and i managed to sell à few mothers day here in brittany france. So next year even better 😊 do you have a vidéo of your farm l would love to see how you are set up take care papapom 😊
Thanks so much for this video! I had no idea you could multiply your corms. Can you do this with anemone? Did you say in another video that perennialize some ranunculus (leave the corms in the ground year over year)?
Once the corms are dormant and dry they can be presprouted at anytime and replanted. They don't need a temperature controlled rest period. However, growing them in warm temps won't work well with the plants as they need to grow in cool temps.
I'm growing a tunnel full right now but ....can I harvest them without them dying back and let them dry out before storing? Reason I ask is because I need that raised bed for another crop. THANKS!
We understand the problem of tunnel space and growing lots of flowers. We have not pulled our ranunculus ahead of die back, so I can't say it will work. But we always are trying and experimenting, so if possible, give it a try. Maybe only pull half of them It might just work. I would suggest getting back up corms in the late spring. We always buy extra corms just in case of failures. Hope this helps.
Love you videos, my first year growing ranunculus is absolute disaster. I already hoarded corms at 70% of from 5 sellers. I am in sone 9b , new sone 12:) no rain and 115 % for.two month . My husband ordered in January 1 for my BD , The seller decided they know better and ship them to me in mid March, in mid May we hit 90, only 3 plants made it of 200.
That stinks. I order ranunculus 6 to 10 months in advance. If sellers are a bit behind and don't ship them by mid-October, they tend to hold them until March, which is too late for me. (I plant or sow cool season flowers October through January.) If the corns haven't arrived by late October, I've learned to call the supplier and politely inquire. I mention that I need to plant those corms now in my micro climate. The sellers usually mail them after a phone call. You can also hold the corms for up to 3 years, and most should still be viable.
Hi @Jacqueline Clark usually the label with a plant contains something like PFAF or TM or a Patent number. Its not easy to use but Google does have a patent search database. Hope this helps!
Love your no nonsense approach. Thank you from Ireland
Thanks guys. Really enjoyed watching.
Glad you liked it . It was our pleasure. Thanks for watching.
I noticed you’re using something to sit your knees on, what is that called? Looks like a marvellous device in the garden!:)
It is a knee pad. Get one that is extra thick, it will last longer and is more comfortable. Thank you for watching.
Thank you sharing this! I’m starting to plant a few of these on my own 💕💯 Can’t wait to use all of the knowledge when harvest season is done ✅
Thank you for this. I am soon going to dig mine and I really need this information.

the flowers are so beautiful, so wonderful
When storing the corms should they be packed in dry peat , wood shavings, etc and to make sure they don’t touch each other?
Can you dig up and dry the corms without leaving them in the ground for those extra weeks?
Very well explained
Thank you for your kind words. It is nice to hear that we covered the topic well. Thanks for watching. Denise

Thanks for the video, just what I was looking for
That helped as I still need to dig m8ne up or pull as you have! Thanks!
So do these corms need a cool rest/dormancy to initiate bud develpment?

Ooh no, so sad to hear you had such bad results :( timing is essential I noticed.

You are very welcome
Thank you for sharing. Do you save your anemone corms as well?
How does corm size relate to number of flowers & size of flowers?
The larger corm yields a larger plant thus more blossom stems.
Thanks for sharing. 🌸👍
Is there an easy way to check which ones are under patent?
