Ranniki have been used as ornamental plants since the middle of the 16th century. They grow wild in southern Europe.You can find them in old park layouts.Eranthis is a combination of two Greek words: er - spring and anthos - flower.The species name hyemalis comes from the Latin hiems, which means winter.
Development of the winter rancher
Ranniki owe their name to very early flowering. Plants wake up from hibernation in January.The flowers of the winter rancher (2.5 cm in diameter) are golden yellow and distinguished by a subtle scent.The leaves of this species are palm-sized and divided.
Winter rancher - position
Rannik perfectly adapted to our weather conditions. It is accepted in a variety of environments, however, it feels best in permeable soil in semi-shaded to shady positions.Too much sunlight can burn the leaves.
Winter ranner care
Rannik is undemanding. If we let it grow freely, it will spontaneously form a dense planting. This is its natural feature, as this species reproduces by adventitious bulbs. Due to their small size (1.5 cm), it is not worth planting them individually.It is best to plant at least a dozen at once to get a lush carpet planting. Note: rannik is a highly poisonous plant!
Winter rancher - application
Rannik looks good in natural gardens, meadows, under the canopy of trees. The plants can be used for carpet or spot plantings (flower mini-islands).Rannik is one of the earliest honey plants.
Tip
Before planting, it is recommended to soak the small bulbs in water all day - then they swell and take hold more easily.
