Bring a little sunshine to the garden with the Pastel Lemon Ranunculus’ shades of lemon, tangerine, peach, and rose. These palm-sized blooms resemble peonies with many layers of petals and a delicate scent to boot. Their long stems allow for versatility in the garden and make them an excellent cut flower, wonderful for arrangements and wedding bouquets. Ranunculus do well in cool and warm climates, gracing spring gardens with blooms that last until summertime.

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.
