Description

A fine and enchanting Fritillary bearing slender stems of nodding, bell-shaped blooms during April and May. Petals gently reflex towards their pointed tips, in unusual shades of dusty olive, lime and maroon. Inside each Fritillaria Acmopetala bloom is a cluster of bold yellow, dusty stamens.

Known as the Pointed-Petal Fritillary, Fritillaria Acmopetala is native to Cyprus and holds a prestigious Award of Garden Merit for plant excellence.

The subtle beauty of this species fritillary makes it the perfect plant for exquisite container plantings and wildlife-friendly borders. Plant the bulbs in autumn, in full sun or part shade, into well-drained soil.

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.
