I am a landscape designer and have been purchasing 1000's of spring flowering bulbs from A.D.R. Bulbs for 100's of clients in the last 20 years. The bulbs have always been of top quality and if there were any problems, they have been quick to rectify. My orders are often complicated with many varieties and different amounts and they have always filled and delivered everything on time with the best customer care and attention to detail. The pictures in their catalog and website are beautiful. I have visited their facility in NY and was impressed with all their handling equipment and organization. I would highly recommend A.D.R. Bulbs to anyone in the wholesale trade who wants to purchase quality bulbs and work with genuinely nice people.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Ranunculus Tecolote 'Pastel Mixture'

Planting: In USDA zones 8–10, plant tubers in fall for early spring blooms. In colder zones (3–7), fall planting is only recommended with frost protection—otherwise, store tubers in a cool, dry place and plant in late winter or early spring. Soak tubers in room-temperature water for 1 to 3 hours before planting. Plant claw-side down, 2 to 3 inches deep.
Spacing: Space 4 to 6 inches apart. For dense displays, aim for 50–75 tubers per square meter.
Light: Full sun is essential—at least 6 hours daily. Choose a sheltered spot with good air circulation.
Soil: Fertile, well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0–7.0. Amend with compost or leaf mold to improve structure.
Watering: Water after planting and keep soil lightly moist during active growth. Avoid soggy conditions—ranunculus tubers are prone to rot.
Temperature & Protection: Hardy to about 25°F (–4°C). In zones 8–10, mulch after planting to buffer against cold snaps. In zones 7 and below, use frost cloths or grow in containers that can be moved indoors.
Fertilization: Feed every 2–3 weeks with a high-potash fertilizer once growth begins. Liquid seaweed is a great organic option.
Pruning: Deadhead regularly to encourage more blooms. After flowering, allow foliage to die back naturally.
Pest & Disease: Watch for aphids, slugs, and powdery mildew. Good airflow and hand-picking pests help prevent issues.
