Ranunculus-weather?

Are ranunculus one of those annuals that like cool weather? I've had bad experience with the common annuals like geranium, petunias, etc. because our summer get really hot. Just wondering if I'm better off avoiding ranunculus.

Arnt those bulbs or tubers? I saw them for sale at Sam's club and even tho they are beautiful I didnt get them because the box said they werent hardy for our zone. I just didnt feel like having something else I would have to dig up in the fall. But everytime I see them I almost change my mind.
Or am I thinking of the wrong platn altogether?

Mmm hmm. I think they're tubers rather than bulbs. I saw some gorgeous full doubled ones. They were so double they were bursting with petals!

These plants like cold weather and in summers die, again grow in winetrs,after frost. Reaaly beautiful flowers.

No ... you can save them and try in next season with Tulips and anemones.
