In zones 8-10, they can be grown in the garden year round.
In cooler regions they can be grown in containers and brought in during the winter, the tubers can be dug up from the garden and stored as with Dahlia plants. or they can be treated as an annual and simply tossed in the compost pile.
Plant Persian Buttercup tubers 2" deep and 6"-8" apart, with the 'spider legs' pointed down.
They require a light, rich, sandy soil with near perfect drainage, to prevent root rot.
Ranunculus tubers can be planted in the garden as soon as all danger of frost has passed.
Water sparingly until the new foliage emerges, then keep evenly moist.
When the first buds appear, start feeding with a ½ strength, liquid fertilizer every time you water.
