Fritillaria Imperialis Aurora
M5381
Description
Fiery orange-red bells swing beneath a tufted crown of glossy green foliage. Stately and bold, this Crown Imperial Fritillaria Aurora commands attention in April displays.
Well-suited to formal beds or generous pots. Thrives in fertile, well-drained soils with strong spring sun.
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 15cm (6”) deep and small bulbs 8cm (3”) deep, in well-drained soil.
Plant bulbs on their side to prevent water getting into the hollow crown.
