Choose a bright, airy spot. Protect containers from strong afternoon heat as spring progresses.

🌿 Feeding

🍃 After Flowering

Remove faded blooms regularly. Let foliage die back naturally, then keep tubers dry during summer dormancy. Tubers may be saved for replanting, although repeat flowering is not guaranteed.

🇲🇹 Local Growing Tips

Autumn planting allows plants to establish through Malta’s cooler months. Avoid planting into hot soil, and keep dormant tubers away from regularly irrigated beds.

🐕🐈 Pet Safety

Ranunculus is toxic to dogs and cats if eaten. Keep plants and tubers out of pets’ reach.
