A ranunculus garden will provide the most beautiful look. Start indoors!
Growing ranunculus from corms indoors will ensure you will have many flowers with a head start.
Soak bulbs for a total of 4 hours, but keep in mind that it is best to change the water every hour to prevent any diseases. You will see that the corms are now plump and look very healthy.
In a shallow container with no holes, add an inch of soil and place your corms. Many place them 4" apart, but I go much tighter and it seems to be okay.
