Giving it four stars is only because of the difficulty level. For the first time, I tried out tulips and dutch irises bulbs at the same time with the ranaculus. Ranaculus was the most difficult one. Last year, we had continuous heavy rain for weeks. Only 6 corms out of 20 didn’t rot. Even though I used the soil without peat moss, the top fee inches never dried out properly. As of now, only two survived the temperature spikes to the 90s in the last two months… The tulips and the Dutch irises are the plant and forget types, but Ranaculus is definitely Not. However, I will try it again this winter. The only one bloomed is just too lovely, with semitransparent glass panel like petals and long blooming periods. Highly recommend if you know what you are doing. Or start small to experiment.
