120K views · 9.6K reactions | You can save these to grow again the next year with just a few simple steps. Ranunculus will go dormant and stop producing flowers once temperatures consistently reach over 75 degrees. When that happens you can start the process of saving them! 1. The most important is that you need to let the foliage die down naturally. This feeds the corms underground and will give them the stored energy to provide beautiful flowers for you the next year. This also can take up to 6 weeks so be patient if you want to save them! 2. Once the foliage dies down, you then need to dig them up, cut the dead foliage off and carefully separate them and lay them out in a single layer on trays to dry out. The drying out is the second important piece of the puzzle as if you don’t do this part right, they are going to mold in storage! But don’t overly stress about it: the main key here is just not to rush it! Once they’re in single layers on trays, just put them in a place that gets good ventilation (but out of direct sun) and leave them for around 3-4 weeks to make sure they’re really dried out (I like using shelves in my garage). 3. And then once they’re fully dry, pop them into paper bags and store in a cool dark place (a closet works) until you’re ready to plant again! A few important notes: If you bought Italian, cloni or butterfly corms: most of these have breeder rights and patents on them and you’re not legally allowed to save them from year to year. This ensures that the hybridizers of these actually get paid for their multi-year process of breeding (trust me, it’s LONG) these incredible flowers. If you live in zones 8 and up, you can also just leave them in the ground and they’ll come back each year… provided a critter doesn’t eat them. But if you live in zone 7 or below, it’s best to hedge your bets and dig them up to make sure you don’t lose them. Save this for reference… and let me know if you have further questions! . . . . . . #ranunculus #flowers #growflowers #urbanfarming #tipsandtricks #springflowers #flowerfarmer #flowerfarm #cottagecore #cottagegarden #gardening #garden | Galena Berkompas • Urban Flower Farm • Education | Alan Gogoll · Sunny Side of the Stream
