Low Tunnel for Ranunculus 🌸
With Michigan weather (Zone 5b), our ranunculus need protection from the bitter cold until temperatures consistently stay above freezing.
This is the earliest I’ve planted them out—right after they started forming roots and before they emerged from the soil. I’m hoping this approach is a success because it meant less handling and no need to harden them off before planting.
Now they’re tucked under a low tunnel for protection while they continue developing.
Stay tuned to see how they grow this spring!
