Ranunculus crenatus
« on: March 16, 2011, 04:51:19 PM »
I've been torturing Ranunculus crenatus is a pot for too long and it's time it was growing in a trough, crevice or in the garden.

Where should it be grown?

A gritty crevice Mark where it can really delve it's roots ... appreciates sun and a dampish root run ... sharp sand can be used to bed it into a deep narrow crevice.

Mark,
In the wild it grows amongs rocks in damp places and it is a rare species.

What I´ve heard from a local nurseryman, it is an easy species (they are cultivated there in perlite mixed peat). I bought one last year and planted it semi-shade place.
