While ranunculus can be grown from corms, seed propagation offers an affordable and scalable way to diversify genetics, extend production windows, and experiment with unique varieties. This session takes a deep dive into the technical aspects of starting ranunculus from seed, with an emphasis on efficiency, uniformity, and transplant quality for cut flower production. Scott Rusch of InFlora Cut Flowers will walk through the entire process—from seed selection and pre-germination protocols to seedling management, timing, and transplanting. Participants will learn how to optimize temperature, light, and moisture for reliable germination; manage growth; and integrate seed-grown ranunculus into existing production systems. Real-world examples and data from growers trialing seed propagation will highlight both the challenges and the opportunities this method offers for commercial cut flower farms.

Zoom instructions will be emailed to members on the day of the event. All Ask an Expert webinars are recorded.
