I’ve been purchasing bulbs from A.D.R. for many years. The quality is superior and the service fantastic. Chris and his family have always been prompt and accommodating. If you need it, Chris can find it! I wouldn’t shop anywhere else!

Ranunculus 'Aviv Picotee Pink' is a fall-planted Persian buttercup, producing large, multi-layered blooms in a blend of snowy white, pale pink, and rose, with picotee edges that deepen in tone as the flowers mature. These blooms appear in early spring in Zones 8–11, while in Zones 4–7, they should be planted in early spring for summer flowers.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Ranunculus Picotee 'Pink'

Planting: In USDA zones 8–10, plant tubers in fall for early spring blooms. In colder zones (3–7), fall planting is only recommended with frost protection—otherwise, store tubers in a cool, dry place and plant in late winter or early spring. Soak tubers in room-temperature water for 1 to 3 hours before planting. Plant claw-side down, 2 to 3 inches deep.
Spacing: Space 4 to 6 inches apart. For dense displays, aim for 50–75 tubers per square meter.
Light: Full sun is essential—at least 6 hours daily. Choose a sheltered spot with good air circulation.
Soil: Fertile, well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0–7.0. Amend with compost or leaf mold to improve structure.
Watering: Water after planting and keep soil lightly moist during active growth. Avoid soggy conditions—ranunculus tubers are prone to rot.
Temperature & Protection: Hardy to about 25°F (–4°C). In zones 8–10, mulch after planting to buffer against cold snaps. In zones 7 and below, use frost cloths or grow in containers that can be moved indoors.
Fertilization: Feed every 2–3 weeks with a high-potash fertilizer once growth begins. Liquid seaweed is a great organic option.
Pruning: Deadhead regularly to encourage more blooms. After flowering, allow foliage to die back naturally.
Pest & Disease: Watch for aphids, slugs, and powdery mildew. Good airflow and hand-picking pests help prevent issues.
