Ranunculus 'Pauline' (Ranunculus). Add a sophisticated and intense touch to your garden with Ranunculus 'Pauline', a variety with large, fluffy double flowers of a sumptuous wine red. Its deep, velvety color makes it an ideal plant for beds, pots, and refined bouquets. Part of the renowned Amandine series, it offers larger flowers, good heat tolerance, and prolonged blooming between spring and early summer. From March to May for summer flowering. Fertilizer: A liquid fertilizer rich in potassium every 15 days promotes beautiful blooms. Dig up the bulbs after flowering and store them dry in a cool place if you are in a cold climate.
Plant the corms in loose, well-drained soil in a bright location protected from intense heat. In Quebec, spring cultivation requires monitoring for frost and protecting young plants when a cold spell is forecast. Orient the small corms downwards and respect the depth indicated on the packaging. Water to moisten the substrate without saturating it, then adjust watering as it grows. In containers, ensure excess water can drain freely. Constantly wet soil promotes the deterioration of the storage organs, while significant drying out during growth hinders flower development.
During flowering, maintain regular moisture and remove faded flowers with a clean tool. For a bouquet, select a few accessible stems without crushing neighboring plants, then place them in a clean vase. Keep the leaves green after the flowers to allow the corms to replenish their reserves. When the foliage naturally yellows, reduce watering and facilitate dormancy. The corms must be protected from frost during the Quebec winter. If you store them, choose a dry, airy, frost-free location, then check their condition before replanting. These ranunculus are ornamental and not for consumption.
Planting guide
Plant well.Grow beautifully.
Growing method
Install the corms in loose, well-drained soil, in a bright location protected from intense heat. In Quebec, spring cultivation requires monitoring for frost and protecting young plants when a cold snap is announced. Orient the small corms downwards and follow the depth indicated on the packaging. Water to moisten the substrate without saturating it, then adjust the watering to growth. In containers, ensure that excess water can drain freely. Constantly wet soil promotes the degradation of storage organs, while significant drying during growth hinders flower development. During flowering, maintain regular moisture and remove faded flowers with a clean tool. For a bouquet, harvest a few accessible stems without crushing neighboring plants, then place them in a clean vase. Keep the leaves green after the flowers to allow the corms to replenish their reserves. When the foliage yellows naturally, reduce watering and accompany the plants into dormancy. The corms must be protected from frost during the Quebec winter. If you are storing them, choose a dry, airy, and frost-free location, then check their condition before replanting them. These ranunculus are ornamental and not for consumption.
Soil and care
The right care,at the right time.
Watering
Water sparingly during growth and allow the soil surface to dry slightly between waterings. Pour water slowly at the base to moisten the root zone without saturating it. Check below the surface before watering again: rain, heat, and wind change watering needs. For potted plants, check moisture more often and empty the saucer after watering. Gradually reduce watering as the foliage naturally yellows and the plant goes dormant.
Soil type
Light, humus-rich, and well-drained. Observe your site after a rain to locate areas where water remains on the surface for a long time. Work the soil when it has dried out: working it when it is waterlogged risks compacting it around the roots. Adapt amendments to the actual texture of the soil, without systematically adding sand or fertilizer. If you are growing in containers, use an appropriate substrate and ensure that the drainage holes remain clear.
Fertilization
A potassium-rich liquid fertilizer every 15 days promotes beautiful blooms. Respect the dosage written on your fertilizer packaging and measure the quantity before applying it. Take into account compost and other previous applications to avoid over-fertilizing the same plant. Distribute the product according to its instructions for use; avoid concentrated contact with roots or storage organs.
Seasonal care
Plant the corms in loose, well-drained soil in a bright location protected from intense heat. In Quebec, spring cultivation requires monitoring for frost and protecting young plants when a return of cold weather is announced. Orient the small corms downwards and respect the depth indicated on the packaging. Water to moisten the substrate without saturating it, then adjust watering as the plants grow. In containers, ensure that excess water can drain freely. Constantly wet soil promotes the degradation of reserve organs, while significant drying out during growth hinders flower development. During flowering, maintain regular humidity and remove faded flowers with a clean tool. For a bouquet, select a few accessible stems without crushing neighboring plants, then place them in a clean vase. Keep the leaves green after flowering to allow the corms to replenish their reserves. When the foliage naturally yellows, reduce watering and prepare for dormancy. The corms must be protected from frost during the Quebec winter. If you store them, choose a dry, aerated, frost-free location, then check their condition before replanting. These ranunculus are ornamental and not for consumption. Throughout the seasons, observe new shoots, soil moisture, and the condition of the stems. A durable label helps locate the planting during its dormancy. Clean tools after cutting diseased parts and remove debris that degrades around the base of the plant.
Container growing
A garden,within reach.
Container gardening requires planning for the necessary root volume and the plant's final height. Choose a stable pot with drainage holes and a substrate suitable for planting. Leave enough space to respect the recommended depth and spacing, rather than crowding plants to immediately fill the pot. Place the container in the indicated exposure and regularly check the moisture, especially in hot or windy weather. A pot is more exposed to temperature variations than a plant in the ground. Therefore, from the outset, plan a wintering location compatible with the plant's needs and your region's climate.

Companion plants
To accompany 'Pauline' ranunculus, you could consider pansies or poppy anemones. Choose neighboring varieties based on their height, flowering period, and the colors you wish to combine. Above all, ensure their exposure and water requirements are suitable for the same location. Leave enough space so that leaves don't shade young shoots and to allow easy access to each plant for maintenance. These combinations are for creating the garden's aesthetic; they do not guarantee protection against pests or diseases. Adjust the layout after observing one growing season.

How to successfully plant Ranunculus 'Pauline'?
Plant the corms in loose, well-drained soil, in a bright location protected from intense heat. In Quebec, spring cultivation requires monitoring for frost and protecting young plants when a cold spell is forecast. Orient the small corms downwards and respect the depth indicated on the packaging. Water to moisten the substrate without saturating it, then adjust waterings as the plant grows. When planting in containers, ensure that excess water can drain freely. Constantly wet soil promotes the degradation of the storage organs, while significant drying out during growth harms flower development.
What light should I provide for Ranunculus 'Pauline'?
The recommended exposure is sun to partial shade. Observe the light at your chosen location in the morning and afternoon, as the shade from trees or buildings changes throughout the day. Also consider nearby plants: their foliage can obscure a young planting as it grows. In a container, place the pot where you can move it if conditions become too hot or too shady. Suitable exposure must go hand in hand with proper soil and watering. If you are moving a plant started indoors outdoors, gradually accustom it to garden conditions to avoid too abrupt a transition for young leaves.
How to adjust watering?
Water according to the actual soil moisture, taking into account rain, heat, and wind. Check below the surface before deciding to water again: soil that is dry on the surface may still be moist at the root level. Direct the water to the base and let it penetrate, without keeping the plant in saturated soil. Containers generally require more frequent checks because they dry out faster. Make sure their drainage holes remain clear and empty any water from saucers. Also, adapt care to the plant's cycle: active growth and a resting period do not require the same amount of water.
What to plan for container gardening?
Container gardening requires planning for the volume needed for the roots and the plant's final height. Choose a stable pot with drainage holes and a suitable potting mix. Leave enough space to respect the recommended depth and spacing, rather than overcrowding plants to immediately fill the pot. Place the container in the indicated exposure and regularly check the moisture, especially in hot or windy weather. A pot is more exposed to temperature variations than a plant in the ground. Therefore, plan for a wintering location compatible with the plant's needs and your region's climate from the outset.
What aftercare should be planned after the growing season?
During flowering, maintain consistent moisture and remove spent flowers with a clean tool. For a bouquet, take a few accessible stems without crushing neighboring plants, then place them in a clean vase. Keep the leaves green after the flowers to allow the corms to replenish their reserves. When the foliage naturally yellows, reduce watering and prepare for dormancy. The corms must be protected from frost during the Quebec winter. If you are storing them, choose a dry, airy, frost-free location, then check their condition before replanting.
