Plant calendar
Soak the dry claws in plain water for three to four hours before planting. They will gradually plump up as they rehydrate.
Choose a sunny, sheltered position with fertile, well-drained soil. Ranunculus enjoy moisture during active growth, but dislike waterlogged ground and strong, cold winds.
Plant the claws facing downwards, 2–5cm deep and 5–10cm apart. They can be planted directly in borders or containers, or started individually in pots.
Keep the soil lightly moist during active growth, but never soggy. Deadhead regularly to encourage more flowers, then reduce watering as the foliage begins to yellow.
