Ranunculus hybrids
Ranunculus, improved
Description
This plant is a great spring-summer "bulb". You get more "bang for the buck" with Ranunculus. It can be grown from seed and naturalizes in mild climates. The odd-looking rhizome is planted "toes-down". Ranunculus ficaria is invasive in this region. Other varieties are better to use.

Water Saving Tip:
Group plants with similar water needs together so that some plants aren't over watered to meet the needs of their more thirsty neighbors.
Never include shrub and lawn areas in the same sprinkler zone.
