Planting and Growing Information

Plant Fritillaria Meleagris bulbs in fall, approximately 4 inches deep and 4 inches apart. For best results, position bulbs on their sides to prevent water collection in hollow crowns. These adaptable bulbs thrive in USDA zones 3-8, preferring moist, well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. They naturalize beautifully in meadow settings and perform exceptionally well in containers. Expect blooms in mid to late spring, with the distinctive checkered flowers nodding gracefully above slender foliage.
