Ranunculus
Common name : Paper flower
Outdoor Beds
Find a location where the soil drains well. If there are still
water puddles 5-6 hours after a hard rain, scout out another site. Or
amend the soil with the addition of organic material to raise the level
2-3 inches to improve the drainage. Peat moss, compost, ground bark or
decomposed manure all work well and are widely available.
Site your ranunculus where they will receive full sun.

Daisy
Daisies belong to the daisy family of Compositae, now known as Asteraceae in flowering plants. Daisies are native to north and central Europe.
The origin of the word Daisy is the Anglo Saxon “daes eage†which literally mean “day’s eyeâ€. It was called this because daisies open at dawn as the day just starts to begin.
