When you grow Red Ranunculus flowers expect them to be mistaken for roses. They do have a similar appearance, but we think ranunculus blooms steal the show. Their buds are full with curly stems to make your bouquets stand out. They somehow combine a classic feel with contemporary flare. If you've never grown ranunculus, the Red variety is a great place to start.

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.
