Fritillaria Plant Profile and Growing Notes
Fritillaria, for us, is one of the most enchanting bulbs you can grow, the snakes head fritillaria, or fritillaria meleagris is probably the easiest to grow, and it is fascinating with its chequered or pure white drooping flowerhead in spring it will make a show.
 
If you are patient try fritillaria imperialis this is the crown prince of fritillaria up to 1.5m with orange or yellow 'Maxima Lutea' drooping bell shaped flowers from the top of its tall stem. Plant Imperialis on its side deep in the soil (up to 500cm) and maybe if you are patient you will have a clump of spectacular fritillaria in a few years.

FRITTILARIA BULBS
Large Fritillaria Bulbs such as Fritillaria Imperialis (lower right) and Fritillaria Eduardii need to be planted 20 - 30 cm deep in a well drained soil. Smaller bulbs such as Fritillaria Meleagris can be planted 10 - 15 cm deep.
Fritillaria imperialis is perhaps the trickiest to grow, the bulb has a hollow centre and has a tendancty to rot. Try keeping Fritillaria imperialis bulbs dry during dormancy, plant the bulb on its side, or try a well drained large pot with thick sides that prevent the pot from getting to hot (plastic pots tend to overhreat easily) keep the pot under cover during the winter and place in the garden at the first sign of growth.Do not use water saving granuals in potting mix with Fritillaria.
FERTILIZING FRITILLARIA BULBS
Try a liquid fertilizer when new growth commences in spring.
