Otherwise known as persian buttercup, the intricately layered petals of ranunculus blooms create a full and fluffy flower that you could stare at all day! Plant multiple for a spectacular array of colors! In Latin, rana means “frog” and unculus translates to “little”. Just like little frogs, ranunculus love moist soil conditions! Often planted as bulbs in the fall, these spring bloomers do best in full sun. Zone 3-10.
