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.

Tulip ‘Purple Dream’ is a truly regal tulip with tall, elegant violet blooms. The opulent purple flowers are tapered and slim with pointed petals which open up as the blooms age and unfold, basking in the late spring sunshine.
Excellent for cutting thanks to strong stems which can easily withstand wind and rain. For a contemporary and vibrant late spring show, combine lily-flowering tulip 'Purple Dream' with punchy orange shades in the garden such as paeony-tulip ‘Orange Princess’ and parrot tulip ‘Amazing Parrot’.
