I have worked with A.D.R. Bulbs for almost 5 years now, and my company has sourced bulbs with them for longer than that. Communication is great - from ordering, to deliveries, to follow-ups on final product. I love the quality of the product as well as the service. We plant nearly 100,000 bulbs and A.D.R. keeps the whole process easy for us!

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Ranunculus Tecolote 'Pastel Mixture'

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.
