Description
Elevate your garden's splendour with the vigorous beauty of Fritillaria Persica. Dark plum-purple, bell-shaped flowers stand proudly on robust, plain green stems. This hardy and outstanding plant brings a dramatic flair to any landscape, with rich hues and striking form.
Flowers, with their velvety texture, create a stunning contrast against the lush foliage, making a bold statement. Plant these bulbs for a garden which exudes strength and elegance, captivating all who behold it.
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.
