Tecolote ranunculus were bred for the cut flower market. Their giant, 5" blossoms have lots of extra petals for an extra full look, and they come in many beautiful new colors. Merlot's flowers are rich, raspberry-red with frosty white highlights. Each corm will produce a plant that yields many stems. In areas with mild winters (zones 8-11), ranunculus are planted in fall for early spring flowers. The plants will not survive freezing temperatures, so be sure to provide protection from extreme cold. In zones 4-7, ranunculus should be planted in early spring for summer flowers.

The deep red wine color of this ranunculus stood out in bouquets. I was glad to have these spring flowers with a long vase life.

Great!

Most of the flowers were not merlot. We ended up with quite a few orange, yellow, and pink ones.

not so happy.

I purchased and planted this variety last year, and all I got were leaves, not flowers whatsoever, and nothing this year yet, I guess will have to wait some more to see some growth, worried that the corms may have rotted. I may try again one more year.

Hello Asik,
Sorry to hear that none of your Ranunculus sprouted. We guarantee our products 100% and are happy to remedy the situation. Ranunculus are cool season flowers that grow best in spring-like temperatures of about 55°F. In warm climates (zones 8-10), the corms are planted in the fall so they will bloom in late winter and early spring. Our customer service team will reach out to you shortly.

Not good not sure if I over watered them,they did not germinate for about three weeks planted as instructed part of the experience

Hello Curtis,
Sorry to hear that your Ranunculus corms didn’t perform as expected. After pre sprouting the corms for no more than 4 hours, they should be planted in a shallow tray (no drainage holes) of moist, never wet soil. They then should be placed for 2 weeks in a cool, dark, dry room. It is important to check the corms daily to make sure the soil is never dry. A customer service representative will be reaching out to you shortly. We guarantee our products 100% and are happy to offer a refund or replacement.
