Planting and Growing Information
Plant Fritillaria persica bulbs in fall, placing them 5-6 inches deep and 8 inches apart in well-drained soil. For best results, position bulbs on their sides to prevent water accumulation in the natural indentation. These bulbs thrive in USDA zones 4-8 in full sun to partial shade locations. They bloom in mid to late spring, reaching 80-100 cm in height. After flowering, allow foliage to die back naturally to ensure energy storage for next season's display.
