Confession: I wasn’t all that impressed with my ranunculus this year 🫣
They’re beautiful… but they are NOT low-maintenance flowers. Between the constant babysitting, weather protection, watering, and just general fussing, they required a lot more attention than I expected. Who has time for that?!
And if I’m being completely honest, the return didn’t quite match the effort this season.
Today I dug them up, washed them and have them drying, before tucking the corms away into storage.
The bed got a fresh layer of compost and is already moving on to the next crops.
Will I try growing ranunculus again next year?
Yes. Against my better judgment… but only because I have another bed about to bloom and of course they look absolutely beautiful. And also because I already bought new colors for next season 🤦🏼♀️🌸
