If in doubt, plant sideways. The know where up and down are.

I have just purchased some bulbs or are they corms ?
If you're referring to Persian Buttercup (Ranunculus asiaticus) they're
tubers.
However , I am at a loss as how to plant them.
Which way up should they be tendrils up or tendrills down.
Google is your friend, though in this case it's a bit reluctant to oblige,
particularly with an authoritative site. However, the answer is "claws"
downwards.
