Our new fun and whimsical mix of pinks, reds, and oranges aptly named Ranunculus Lipstick Mix is the perfect anecdote to the wintertime blues. Knowing that you have planted this witty mix, you can await spring with excited anticipation! Just be sure to plant enough—these look best when planted in bulk so that you have enough to enjoy outside and cut to bring inside. Warmer zones plant in the fall, cooler zones start indoors.

Note: In Zones 8–10, ranunculus are grown as perennials—plant in fall for spring blooms. In Zones 4–7, they are treated as cool-season annuals. Start corms indoors in late winter and transplant after nights stay above 30°F, or dry-store them and plant in spring after hard frosts.
