Planting Time

Plant Fritillaria imperialis bulbs from September to October. This timing allows the roots to establish well before winter, encouraging vigorous growth and abundant blooms in the following spring.

Planting Depth

Set the bulbs at a depth of around 20 cm. This depth helps protect them from frost and ensures stability as the plants mature.

Spacing

Maintain a spacing of 40 cm between each bulb. This gives the plants room to develop fully and creates an impressive display, especially in group plantings.

Flowering Time

This perennial bulb flowers from April to May. The red blooms form compact clusters at the top of each stem, providing vibrant colour at a time when many other plants are just emerging.

Hardiness & Overwintering

The bulbs are winter-hardy and do not require lifting at the end of the season. They tolerate low temperatures well, making them a practical choice for long-term planting bulbs in various garden conditions.

Uses

Fritillaria imperialis is suitable for borders, mixed with other garden bulbs, or as a focal point among ornamental shrubs and low-growing perennials. Its bold colour and form enhance both formal and naturalistic planting schemes.
