30 Bulbs of Fritillaria Meleagris Half Price
CAM36
Description
Come the death of winter there is the quiet shift when the air softens, and the earth begins to breathe again. Every garden announces this differently; some whisper with colour, others hum with light. Somewhere between those first pale mornings and the brighter days ahead lies a moment which all good gardeners relish - the instant when shades begin to harmonise.
Fritillaria Meleagris Mix holds this moment in its petals: a dance of cream, lavender, and deep burgundy, each hue folding into the next like notes in a melody. Close beside this, Fritillaria Alba stands in pure white, a pause in the song, a breath of calm which makes every surrounding colour sing. Both are honoured with the RHS Award of Garden Merit, a quiet assurance from those who understand beauty and patience.
This HALF-PRICE offer is 15 bulbs of Fritillaria Meleagris Mix and 15 bulbs of Fritillaria Meleagris Alba. These 30 bulbs have a retail price with postage of £27.10. Your price WHILST STOCKS LAST is £13.50 with FREE delivery.
15 x Fritillaria Meleagris Mixed bulbs (AGM) offers a vibrant tapestry of colours, from creamy whites and soft lavenders to deep maroons. Each blossom is intricately chequered, displaying a mesmerising pattern which captivates the eye. Bulbs size 5/6cm.

Many de Jager gardeners, who plant these Fritillaria bulbs in the autumn, often speak of surprise when their Fritillaria bloom. The way morning light plays across the chequered blooms, the way they sway gently with the breeze, as if breathing alongside you.

When the frost fades and the first nodding bells appear, you will remember why you garden at all.

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.
