Ranunculus asiaticus
Ranunculus asiaticus, also known as the peony-like flower, has a flower shape that overlaps like peonies, and it also comes in a variety of colors. Different colors planted together look like artificial flowers from a distance!
Ranunculus asiaticus is generally planted in autumn and can tolerate a low temperature of 0℃. Therefore, it can be planted directly in the ground in the south, while those in the north with heating can grow it in pots. If you want to plant it in the ground, it's best to wait until next spring. It usually blooms from March to June.
The bulbs of Ranunculus asiaticus look like little claws. After receiving them, you can soak them in a fungicide solution for half an hour before planting. Generally, they can bloom within 2-3 months. During this period, remember to keep the soil moist and water it with some fertilizer like Ogreen No. 5 to make it bloom more!
Double-flowered Hyacinth
Speaking of the most popular flowers in autumn and winter, double-flowered hyacinth has to make an appearance. Its vibrant colors stand out during the dull and monotonous winter and spring, and it can even give off a faint fragrance, making it a favorite of many!
Double-flowered hyacinth is known as a lazy person's flower because it is so easy to grow. If you are growing it in a pot, simply bury 2/3 of the bulb, which makes it easier to bloom. If you want to grow it hydroponically, just put it in a hydroponic bottle!
Hyacinths grow very fast. Generally, they will sprout within about 10 days after being planted (it might take a bit longer in colder places), and they can bloom in about 2 months. The bloomed flowers come in many colors and a small pot placed indoors looks particularly charming!
Grape Hyacinth
Compared to double-flowered hyacinth, grape hyacinth bulbs are particularly small, resembling little grapes, and the flowers are not as large as hyacinths, but they are denser and bloom like little umbrellas in clusters. The purple flowers look incredibly dreamy!
