Description

Fritillaria raddeana is a rarely seen variety, native to the rocky slopes of Iran, Turkmenistan, and Kashmir. This shorter cousin of the Crown Imperial produces elegant, nodding bell-shaped flowers in soft yellow, blushed with lime green, the colour deepening as they mature. The flowers appear in umbels of 5 or 6—sometimes more—crowned with a tuft of leafy bracts. A hardy, naturalising perennial, Fritillaria raddeana is perfect for adding unique spring beauty to borders and rockeries. Ultimate height: 30cm (12in) to 50cm (20in). Ultimate spread: 10cm (4in) to 20cm (8in).

How to Grow
Fritillaria thrives in reliably moist, well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter. Add plenty of well-rotted manure or garden compost to the soil prior to planting to improve less than ideal soils. Heavy clay soils are not suitable, and in these conditions grow the bulbs in raised beds or containers. Plant Imperial Fritillary bulbs at a depth and spacing of 20-30cm in a warm, sunny position. Fritillary bulbs are fragile so always handle them with care. Apply a high potash tomato feed at fortnightly intervals after bulbs start to emerge.

For more information and guidance check out our Gardening Guides.

More Info
When growing fritillaries, it is essential to allow their foliage to die back naturally as this will feed the bulb for the following year. In good conditions, the bulbs will grow to form large clumps that can be lifted and divided in autumn if needed.

Caution: irritant to skin and eyes
