FAQ
Can ranunculus be grown from seed?
Yes. Many gardeners know ranunculus from corms, but this Magic series selection can be started from pelleted seed.
What color are Magic Pink Peach blooms?
Expect a pastel blend of soft peach, warm blush, rose pink, and pink-peach tones that can shift slightly as blooms mature.
Should I cover the seed?
No. Press the pelleted seed onto moist mix and leave it uncovered or barely pressed in because light helps germination.
What should colder-zone growers do with corms?
In zones 4-7, lift formed corms after foliage browns and before hard freeze, then store them cool, dry, and dark for replanting after frost danger.
