Starting My Ranunculus 2021 : Garden Marker Giveaway : Flower Hill Farm

[@FlowerHillFarm]

If you live in a colder zone like we do- you could start them anytime over the next six weeks. We are specifically starting them now for a Mother's Day crop. My last frost date is around May 15. Generally, you start them 12 weeks before your last frost if you don't have season extenders like a low tunnel or a hoop house.

[@stephaniewarren9285]

This ^^^^was the perfect side note. I came here to ask exactly this! I’ve never grown them, but this video inspired me! 🙌

[@nathanielzimmer7269]

Could you make a video series about how to grow snap dragons from seed for cut flowers thanks my first time growing them

[@WanderingCreekAcres]

Thank you! I’m in zone 5b, I think I will get the ones, I overwintered, started this weekend. I had not realized they preferred it cold. Thanks for the information!

[@Baynstyy]

love the idea for aeration, you should use a aquarium air pump, airline tubing safety valve with an air stone can put the stone down with the bulbs much better for aeration that hang on filter :)

My 9 year old daughter watches with me too! We grew flowers last year and will be officially flower farming for the first time this year. We learn SO much from Nicole, and we love how entertaining she is ❤

[@pinkpony1351]

Aw same! My daughter is 8 and we have a small flower farm!

[@wordvendor1]

I love people who show their worker side, and look just as pretty doing it.

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Aw, thanks!

[@becky7146]

The best ranunculus tutorial I have watched, and I have watched many. Love that your guests showed real pics of their trays, roots, etc., so one can see what to look for. I'm starting minr today (zone 6)!

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Thank you so much!

[@sylvianebeaulieu27]

As a dairy producer and a girl who is jumping into the cut flower world to be able to have a relationship with my customers( cause we don't sell milk directly) I really appreciated you comment on who we all need to get along ! You a a breath of fresh air! BTW just a tad addicted to your vids lol

[@NaturallyBrittany]

The corms from Ednie are such great quality. I got mine from them as well and boy there is just no comparison from the smaller sites I’ve ordered from in the past. Mine presprouted beautifully and I’ve got them growing in my low tunnel already over the winter. Can’t wait to see how they’ll do come Spring!

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Totally agree!

[@sangeetaaich01]

Does BALL carry the same quality?

[@lisawemple4707]

What zone are you in?

[@ThePaperCraftLady]

Link please?

[@heatherbright7214]

You crack me up. I have tried ranunculus a few times and failed. Mine either rot, do nothing, or just grow a leaf or two. I am trying again this year. So far 5 are growing out of the 120 I have planted. I just started 30 more. Keep your fingers crossed for me. By the way bless you.

[@proudcc]

same here. I tried my hands on sprouting them for the first time this year and I bought 70 corms, they all had rotted. I don't know if I should even try again next year :( I am in zone 10b

[@itsteganyay]

I bought some ranunculus in fall of 2019, and planted them straight away in my raised garden beds. I was completely unaware that they required any extra prep like soaking, or that they should be planted in the spring. Luckily I'm in zone 8, and they came up without any trouble come spring 2020. I think they bloomed in March. They were absolutely beautiful, and some had a wonderful scent. I never dug up the corms last year, I just left them where they were, and they've been putting out new leaves for at least a month now. I hope they flower this year too!

[@FlowerHillFarm]

They should be perennial for you! SO jealous!

[@rosanapasquini8714]

Great to know I am in zone 8a great to know

[@amandagrimm4732]

Yay! I was reading the comments to see if anyone else has grown them in zone 8. This will be my first year trying to grow them and am really excited!

[@suekrebs3497]

I grew ranunculus last spring also. Shipping delays resulted in getting a late start. They were blooming so well in June and then extreme heat did them in. It was great that you included Tabitha and Erin who provided more advice. Thanks for another fun and informative video!

[@dollyperry3020]

10 plus inches of snow! You're going to have such fun! :) I love your honest failure stories and the way you persevere!

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@temichel]

This is my second time attempting to grow ranunculus. I will be using the soak and refresh 1/2 way through method to conserve water, as I live in California and we are a little prone to droughts. I love your enthusiasm with everything you do. Keep up with the good work. Also, I’m looking forward to an update about Sunflower Steve’s special sunflowers.

[@dawngardy4544]

I seriously love your enthusiasm and spunk! Not only do I learn from your videos, but I have fun and giggle with you.

[@lucyinthesky.withdiamonds]

I'm definitely adding ranunculus to things to try/grow next year. I loved this video's format because I get information from 3 sources and help me decide which way I want to try. It saves me time digging through websites and videos and it was very entertaining too. Thank you!

[@markp2865]

Dollar Tree had 3 corms for $1, so I am trying them out for the first time this year. I only soaked for 2 hours since that is what the directions said. I hope they will turn out ok. Thanks for the video!

[@Lauralamontanaro]

Oh my gosh, this is so exciting! This is my first year that I will be trying to grow a full flower garden for my shop, I have learned so much from you and all of the people you have referenced in your videos. Thank you for being so gracious to share what you have learned.

@@Lauralamontanaro i am sure- I so hope we are back to beauty filled celebrations this summer.

[@lovebugdoxies6457]

I'm zone 5b in Michigan and planted a handful of ranunculus couple years ago without knowing anything about them. Just tossed dry corms in the ground. They've come back two seasons in a row. Seem more hardy than people give them credit for.

[@wordvendor1]

Oh, just got a notification I need to start my Lizzie's tomorrow! Great timing.

[@bloomsbyamelie]

I've attempted ranunculus twice in the past. I gave up. But you ladies have convinced me to try one more time. Spring 2022 lol!

[@Shridra]

I'm trying to start some flowers this year. Not much because I still don't have much room lol, but I'm starting pansies and petunias. I always buy them but I figured why not try to grow them? If they don't work then I can always buy them later.

[@FlowerHillFarm]

I like your mindset!

[@MrRogersTrolley]

Thank you for this video. I LOVE ranunculus but thought they were unattainable for us 4b-ers. I'm soooo excited to try them.

[@TheBriRock]

Ohhh!!! I’ve been wondering what to do with my corms! Thanks so much for this!

[@FlowerHillFarm]

You're so welcome!

[@skinnursern5852]

I love the collaboration with all three farmers! So nice to see this. I have mine all sprouted and getting green on top. I am trying to get my low tunnel built but we have snow. I hope it warms up a bit. Third time will be a charm for you. Can't wait for the updates!

[@jeanniehall1440]

Pulled my calendar out, going through the seed packets to find out what & when to start ..

[@FlowerHillFarm]

It feel good to be prepared!

[@karie3]

I was doing the same! I was shocked when I found that the Snapdragons Madame Butterfly's said sow 8-10 weeks before last frost date. Here I thought they were the same as my Snapdragons Chantilly Mix. Eeeek! Didn't think they would have such different sowing dates. I better get the Madame Snaps planted now.

Haha! I can't say that I didn't suspect that would happen when I placed that clip there LOL Thanks, Scott!

[@nicomyth]

I saved my first batch of corms and every one sprouted just fine. The corms are larger after the first season and have a lot of green top growth. We will see if they make more blooms this spring 🤞

[@NostalgicCookingByCarrol]

[@lisak1570]

Growing my first ranunculus this year. I’m in California zone 9b. I soaked but did not aerate my corms. I put most of them straight into containers outside. I already have a lot of green growth so hope I can get blooms before the heat hits. The few corms I planted directly into my garden beds were promptly scarfed up by a nocturnal animal, either rat or skunk maybe. Everything I put in the ground is subject to predation from gophers and their other fiendish accomplices. Thank you for your videos. I learn so much and am so inspired to try new things because of you!

[@kimt9797]

My bf thought ranunculus was some sort of Harry Potter spell 😄

[@FlowerHillFarm]

I also just trickle water into a flower bucket. On 3rd planting of corms. 1st round doing great in tunnel, presprouted in half perlite half compost in crate and then planted into beds. 2nd round same process and planted out under low tunnel. 3rd round soaking this evening . Fingers crossed for flower farming in Ireland 🇮🇪

Hello from 7a. Thanks for the informative and entertaining video! And thanks for mentioning your location. I just found you for the first time and thought "Hmmm, we get good info from the video then the comments also add to the community knowledge but it can be frustrating when we don't know what zone the info is coming from ". You're just the kind of person who could promote identifying the zone of the commenter as a simple addition to these conversations. It sure would help in interpreting what we read. Ok, now to go soak my corms.

[@leiaflash5055]

Those little spidey thingies grow up real nice and pretty! Never ever thought about growing these beauties. Maybe next year for me? Keeping my fingers and toes crossed for yours to bloom beautifully in time for Mother's Day - 3rd time is definitely the Charm ;)

Thank you, Leia!

[@hollydorlac1229]

My six year old granddaughter has been watching your videos nonstop since we found them a week or 2 ago. We are adding flowers to our wannabe market garden this year. Your videos have been so helpful and enjoyable!

[@FlowerHillFarm]

That is awesome!

[@TOPG6964]

Hi Nicole, love your channel, I started watching Garden Answer and started watching about 3 years ago. We had a house fire in Sept 2017. My crazy life, we adopted 3 kiddos from Ethiopia and we adopted our14 year old in 2006. So after raising 4 beautiful daughters. We have always had a garden but it was a chore after the fire we couldn't start the rebuild till spring 2018. We lived at a ministry called Camp Foundation that had a garden that was neglected so that keep me busy while waiting. Anyway you are about 2hrs from me and in the right zone as me. So, love your channel.

[@marje387]

Good video, nice to see some of your flower friends input too. I started ranunculus in autumn, some are in the hoop house and some outside, here in UK we’ve had frost down to -6c and the ranunculus are looking fabulous. The anemone on the other hand are not so good, they had rotted off and turned to sticky slimy mush in the sprouting process. Not sure what happened there, perhaps over watered? One word of caution to all flower friends out there though, mice love ranunculus corms! They will dig them up and eat the lot, once sprouted they should leave them alone. Last year a mouse had a feast , and ate all the ranunculus out of the ground all they left was the hole the dug over each corm. Lesson learned and I pre sprout the corms in a mouse free zone before planting out. Looking forward to seeing yours bloom,

[@FlowerHillFarm]

They might have gotten too wet. Bummer!

[@prayredomom6690]

I hope your ranunculus do fabulously well this year!!! I absolutely LOVE ranunculus flowers, but have never tried growing them. Thanks for all the info!!!!

[@shelianewman1111]

You have the best personality, love your voice. You make me want to go out and plant everything.😀

[@captcyn]

I watched this again for 2022. I wanted to do ranunculus last year but wasn't able to obtain corms in time. Glad I watched again before just potting up 60 corms! I knew they liked cooler temps to grow but had not realized the hardiness. The hardiness means that I'll be able to move them out to my greenhouse earlier than I thought so I can have more room in my hobby room for other seeds. Zone 6b, Juneau, Alaska.

[@deirdreyudelson7238]

Thanks for the growing information. I now know have my 1st mistake after watching your video. I will try take 2! Fingers crossed. I am in zone 7a.

[@adaleeperkins]

I am loving watching other gardeners get started this year, so inspirational!

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@barbarafegley1279]

I love that you made this video and brought in the other 2 flower farmers input too. I am in zone 6a/6b. I am glad to hear they like the cold. I have started about 75 corms of various colors yesterday to presprout. I held back the other 75 to start in 2 weeks. I think your use of the fish filter aeration in a larger bucket was an excellent idea. Better then a bubbler stone. Hope you have great luck with your chirp.

[@melissaortiz7672]

Girl I just love your channel. You make me smile and give me hope for my flower farm... thanks for being so real!

[@janpapworth7956]

Meanwhile, here on the south coast of the UK, we are doing.........exactly the same thing! They have just soaked, along with anemones and I will get them in soil this afternoon. Some will go in the garage, some in a sheltered spot out door. Good to hear from other growers. Sending best wishes for a disaster free and happy season ahead.

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Thanks, Jan!

[@sangeetaaich01]

lovely, such an elaborate explanations, again I am going to copy your method , bought that pump from the pet store, let's see. by the way so far 11 lisi seedlings....yay... A BIG THANK YOU for your videos!

[@joansiebens5206]

Greetings, from New Mexico!!! If you are unable to find the bags to soak the corms in, take a trip to your local hardware store, paint dept. And ask for paint filters there are usually 2 suzez. Put the Corms in the filter, tie off the opening with a rubber band then place in the water to soak. I like the idea of the fish filter to add oxygen to the soaking corms. I have used the filters, inverted, with little hoops inside, and cover small tender plants to protect them from pests. I hate grasshoppers! I've made large covers, Cloches?, out of Tulle, from the craft store. Thankyou for the Corms tutorial, awesome!!!

[@PrairiePlantgirl]

I always thought ranunculus were a lot more difficult. I didn’t realize they were a cool loving plant. I will try to get my hands on some to try.

[@Lilee2405]

I love ranunculus also, and have never had success growing. I am waiting now to see what happens....

I'm so happy I found your channel!! Your attitude is contagious and helps me to not be so judgmental of my own gardening failures. Thank you for this video! I have Ranunculus that I bought from Floret last fall and now I know just what to do with them. :) Good luck growing yours--Third time's a charm!! ;)

[@captcyn]

Do what I do! I just call it all one big experiment! Sometimes things work, sometimes not! And I learn from the failures. Sometimes I learn I don't want to do that particular item again. Sometimes I learn how to do it another, better way. :-)

[@gardengatesopen]

hmmmm... we just had lunch too! What are the odds?! Hey, I would LOVE to plant ranunculus in my daughter's garden, zone 7 (Dallas area). She's a beginner gardener, and I think bulbs (and corms too) are a good way to start. Plus, they're like a little surprise when they finally do bloom! I loved this video bcuz I've never grown ranunculus before (too much shade here at my house) So it was all good info! Now I just need to find out if we can leave them in the ground all year down here in the South... (Cuz THAT would be a bonus!!) And prolly have to plant them in the late Fall bcuz it may not be cool long enough here, if planted now... ? I dunno! NEW STUFF TO LEARN!!! YaY!! Thanks for sharing! And good to see the girls again! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hopefully third time is a charm. I love ranunculus and have failed at them twice already. When this video popped up I thought somebody knows my heart. Thanks for the info!

[@mswyman100]

It’s my 2nd year growing ranunculus and I’ve had good success. For the pre sprout, I put each type in a bowl of water and change the water every hour soaking for 3 hours or so. Then they’re placed in a solid nursery tray on top of an inch or so of potting mix and just cover them. This year has been pretty cold and we has 2 “ of snow last night. I’ve been covering them when nights are 32 or lower. That may not be necessary but I don’t want to take the chance of losing those beauties. I only grow about 100.

[@regismonkton]

I think that the ranunculus corms resemble the seed pods for columbine and delphinium plants; I think that the ranunculaceae family is fascinating and I'm planning to start growing ranunculus in the near future. My main first-half-of-growing-season fillers are a mass planting of poppies, cornflowers, columbine, forget-me-not, and I think that the ranunculus varieties that Nicole was using would go well with that combination. I live in zone 7a and I think that I'll just leave the corms in the ground all the time and hopefully that will work.

[@theredandwhitefarmhouse]

I use a bubbler used for fishing. You put it in your minnow bucket. Last time I bought one it was cheap on amazon. And it’s batt powered

Just a comment on dahlias, I watched a video from Coast to Coast Home and Garden and this gal visited Swan Island Dahlias and I was amazed how they berm up the dahlias A LOT, maybe a foot (like how you would do potatoes) and they didn’t have to stake them, it was amazing. In another video from Swan Island they were cutting the dahlias back with some sort of cutter pulled by a tractor just as they were starting to bloom..... they cut the whole plant 🥺, can’t remember how short, which then makes them sturdier/bushier. If you’re planting in rows this might be a good thing to try????

These have seemed intimidating but after seeing how you do it I may have to give it a go. They are so pretty. I just adore the depth on the multicolored varieties.

each time you make a video about a particular flower I become convinced I need more of that flower, killin' my farm budget! hahaha- but I love it, because i'm clearly easily impressionable and mildly addicted to buying and growing flowers!

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Hahaha so sorry! LOL

These flowers are beautiful. No wonder mines never bloomed. My package did not mention soaking them. I am so glad you made this video.

[@anisam2949]

they are so pretty !!! Theres flower farmer who lives in zone 6 and she grows them outside in the fall with a low tunel and some frost cloth protection. so it can be done .

This is great news! Thanks for sharing

This is another plant that I have been wanting to grow for years.... thanks for the tips...I think I will order some better corms online.... I didn’t soak the ones I had planted once....also I wonder how these would do in a container as then I can dig up the corms easier (I think). The other two plants I have been wanting to grow are anemones & freesia. I can’t seem to find small plants in summer here of these. I’m 8n Wisconsin. I ordered some lisianthus seeds too...waiting for them to come from my order & going to give those a whirl too inside under lights as those too are one of my favorite flowers....
