This gives the plants sufficient cool growing time before they flower from late winter into spring.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDo I need to soak ranunculus corms before planting?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYes. Dried ranunculus corms look like tiny claws or octopus legs when they arrive. Soak them in room-temperature water for approximately 2–3 hours before planting. This allows the corms to absorb moisture and plump up.
