Stems of silky, creamy-yellow hanging bells rise up during April on Fritillaria Pallidiflora, for a chic and bountiful display in spring borders and containers. Bluish-green foliage is slender and lance-shaped, subtly complementing the flowers.
The award-winning Siberian Fritillaria Pallidiflora has been granted a prestigious Award of Garden Merit from the RHS for garden excellence and beauty.
Bulbs thrive light shade, in moist, well-drained soil which is rich in organic matter. Plant in a sheltered position, where you will enjoy the exquisite beauty of the buttery-yellow blooms and their delicate red markings.
Suitable for wildlife-friendly, cottage gardens, rockeries and spring pot displays.
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.
