    Fritillaria imperialis

    This Lutea Yellow Fritillaria rises like the sun above your other plants! Its tufts of leaves sit atop its down-turned nodding bell-shaped flowers of clear yellow. Truly stately in the garden, these bulbs remain untouched by four-legged critters and some claim they even help keep them away from surrounding plants. Try one today! Please note: this bulb should be planted on it's side in very well drained soil to avoid rotting. For detailed info on planting Fritillaria properly, read these planting tips.

    • Fritillaria require a full sun to partial shade location.
    • Well-drained soil is critical to health and growth of frtillaria bulbs; they are very susceptible to rotting in soils that do not drain well.
    • Amend the planting area with top soil or plant starter mix. The addition of organic matter such as compost, manure or peat is also necessary when amending your soil.
    • To help improve your soil structure, and make nutrients more readily available to the fritillaria bulbs add Kelp Meal when amending your soil.
    • Fritillaria bulbs have a hollow center from the previous year’s stem. This hollow center can easily collect water and lead to the bulb rotting over winter. To help prevent rotting from happening, plant the fritillaria bulb slightly on its side, with the roots facing the earth.
    • After amending your soil, plant your fritillaria bulbs 6” deep
    • Space your fritillaria 8-12” apart. Planting in groups of 3 or more will give the best appearance.
    • Water the planting area immediately after planting to eliminate air pockets. Fritillaria are very sensitive to rotting, any additional water in fall or winter is not suggested.
    • Apply a thick 2-3” layer of organic mulch to the planting area in mid to late fall.
