Fritillaria Meleagris – 20 Bulbs

Fritillaria meleagris, also known as the Snake’s Head Fritillary, produces nodding, bell-shaped flowers in shades of purple and white, patterned with a distinctive chequerboard effect. These elegant blooms bring a naturalistic look to spring gardens and thrive particularly well in damp soils.

• When to Plant: September to November.
• Depth & Spacing: Plant 8 cm deep and 8–10 cm apart.
• Position: Prefers moist, humus-rich soil in sun or partial shade. Ideal for meadows, lawns, and borders.
• Height: 20–30 cm.

Care Advice

Keep soil consistently moist during the growing season, especially in dry spells. Avoid planting in areas prone to drying out completely. Once established, they will naturalise well, returning each spring with minimal care required. Allow foliage to die back naturally to feed the bulbs.

What to Expect

In spring, expect delicate nodding flowers with their unique chequered markings, rising above slender green leaves. Over time, they will form graceful drifts, perfect for woodland-style planting or informal lawns.
