Fritillaria Meleagris Alba
M5402
Description
Fritillaria Meleagris Alba, with delicate, pristine white blossoms, evokes a sense of purity and tranquillity in any garden. Graceful bell-shaped flowers, speckled with subtle green veins, sway gently in the breeze, creating an ethereal display.
This vigorous grower thrives in moist, well-drained soil and dappled sunlight, adding a touch of elegance to shady borders and woodland settings. The understated beauty and reliable growth make this plant a cherished addition for gardeners seeking a serene and enchanting landscape.
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.
