Instructions
Fritillaria like partial shade and a rich soil, preferably alkaline, which does not dry out in the summer. Well-suited to naturalising in borders, wild gardens, rockeries and in grass providing the soil remains moist during the growing period.
Care
Keep the soil moist by mulching with compost. The bulbs are hardy and can be left undisturbed for many years. Perfect colour for shady spots, usually flowering after daffodils and before tulips.
