Description

Fritillaria Davisii produces unusual chocolate-brown bell-shaped flowers with subtle chequering and contrasting chartreuse-green interiors, creating one of the most distinctive colour combinations among spring bulbs. Compact and refined, the elegant blooms of Fritillaria Davisii are perfectly suited to alpine gardens, troughs, rockeries, and smaller containers where their intricate detail can be appreciated up close.

Flowering through April, this collector’s favourite thrives in well-drained soil and benefits from being planted deeply in a sheltered sunny position. Left undisturbed, Fritillaria davisii will gradually naturalise, returning each year with quiet charm and rare botanical beauty.

 
 
 

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.
