I grew these in a tub and they were far more successful than other ranunculus that I had tried planting directly into a flower bed. I noticed there were red specimens that were by far the strongest. They were lovely but I had not expected to have red ones from the photograph. There were very poor weather conditions the year I grew them so it may be that some colours were less hardy than others.

I bought these on a whim because they were cheap. I planted them individually in many pots and they grew strongly all winter in my unheated greenhouse. The plants became quite large and looked healthy. They produced many buds and have now begun to flower well (late March). The flowers are all sorts of colours and last well in water. My only disappointment is that the plants have started to look a bit tired and some of the leaves are yellowing, but maybe that's what happens as they flower (like allium for example) or it could be that the greenhouse has become too hot. I have since learnt that they are best in an alpine house. I would recommend them, though, for filling a greenhouse with plants and colour before you need the space for seedlings and so on in the spring.
