Height: Rununculus typically grow between 40-70 cm or 15-28’’ in height. This range allows the plants to develop a sturdy stem and produce numerous blooms above the foliage. Proper spacing between plants ensures adequate growth and air circulation.

This timeline can vary depending on factors such as climate conditions and soil quality. Growers should be patient as the plants take time to establish themselves before flowering.

Sun Preference: Rununculus thrives best in full sun conditions with at least six hours of direct sunlight daily. Sunlight is essential for optimal growth and flower development. However, they can tolerate partial shade if necessary but may result in reduced bloom size and quantity.
