Bulbs for next season - Try Fritillaria - NurseriesOnline UK

We love Fritillaria and so do many gardeners in the UK, some with collections of 20 - 30 species. A little different to the normal is Fritillaria gussichiae (above left), a very pretty woodlander originally from Greece through to Bulgaria.

Many Fritillaria are Mediterranean bulbs  and require a dry summer dormancy. Fritillaria can be grown in pots or in the Rock Garden, however try to keep the pots cool in summer, and well drained is essential. Bulbs are best left undisturbed.
