Fritillaria eduardii

Fritillaria eduardii are originally from Tajikistan and are similar in appearance to Fritillaria imperialis. Flowering a few weeks earlier than f. imperialis, this bulb does not have the same unpleasant smell as its relative.

Fritillaria eduardii will grow to nearly 1.5m high and is a sensational sight in any garden. Like most other species, f. eduardii requires a well drained position to avoid bulb rot, and can be successfully grown in a large container or pot.
