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 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.
