Fritillaria Imperialis Red Beauty
M5394
Description
Elegant and striking, Fritillaria Imperialis Red Beauty enchants with deep red, bell-shaped flowers and glossy green leaves. Rich, crimson blossoms evoke a sense of passion and intensity, standing out vividly against verdant foliage. This variety's robust growth and resilience make it a favoured choice for creating dramatic focal points in the garden.
Fritillaria Imperialis Red Beauty's lush, vivid blooms are a testament to nature's artistry, inspiring gardeners to cultivate a landscape filled with passion and deep, resonant colours.
Care Guide
Failing to flower after the first year is due to a lack of potash fertiliser, which is necessary for spurring bloom formation for the following year’s flowering.
Plant large bulbs 15 cm deep and small bulbs 8 cm deep, in well-drained soil.
Plant bulbs on their side to prevent water getting into the hollow crown.
