Product Description
This Giant Fritillaria Crown Imperial really is one of the most amazing varieties of fritillaria possible. It will display spectacular orange-red pendants in spring/early summer and like all imperialis varieties, it will have a very unusual group of leaf-like bracts on top of each flower. They naturalise very well if left undisturbed in well drained soil. Pictured with Lutea ‘Crown Imperial’ which is a bright yellow and complements the red Rubra Maxima well. Height 90cm. 18/20cm circumference bulbs supplied.

Growing at a glance…
Plant bulbs from September through to mid-December. Plant large bulbs at least 30cm deep, spaced 10cm apart. Small bulbs can be planted 5cm deep and around 3-4cm apart. For best results, plant in beds and borders, or even in containers if it’s large enough and has holes for drainage. Deadhead regularly to encourage new growth, and leave to die back once they’ve finished flowering to allow the bulb to soak up all the energy from the sun.
