Ranunculus help please
 

I have just purchased some bulbs or are they corms ?

However , I am at a loss as how to plant them.

Which way up should they be tendrils up or tendrills down.

TIA ..............................Leslie

If you're referring to Persian Buttercup (Ranunculus asiaticus) they're
tubers.

However , I am at a loss as how to plant them.

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.

I think you'll find the tendrils are roots, so they need to go down but spread out, so dig out a largish area and lay them out, before back-filling. The spacing should be on the packaging. Ranunculus likes damp, heavy soil to really thrive.

Ranunculus help please
 

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