Planting Time

Planting Depth

Bulbs should be planted at a depth of approximately 15 cm. This depth offers stability and protects the bulbs through the colder months.

Spacing

Allow about 25 cm between each bulb. This spacing gives the plants enough room to develop and results in a harmonious, full display.

Height

Fritillaria persica reaches a height of 80 to 100 cm. The slender, upright stems look impressive both as single specimens and when planted in groups.
