Special Features
 

Performs best in half shaded locations and naturalizes best in well-moistured soil.

Features of Species or Group:
  This is the correct name for the plant that often is cultivated under the name Fritillaria assyriaca. It is native to northern Iraq, western Iran, and southeastern Turkey. First introduced in 1974, it is a vigorous species.

Features of Genus:
  The name fritillary comes from the Latin word fritillus, meaning 'dice-box', as the checkered patterns on the flowers of some of the species resemble the checkerboards associated with many games played with dice. There are about 100 species of this striking bulbous plant, which is related to the lilies. Only a few of them are being actively cultivated. The form and colour of the flowers vary considerably from one species to another, and some are fascinating rather than beautiful. The flowers are generally pendent and bell shaped, carried on leafy stems; their height varies considerably. Many fritillaries have a strong scent to them which some people find unpleasant. These plants deserve a prominent place in the spring garden.

How to Plant Fritillaria Bulbs?
 

To plant Fritillaria Bulbs the bulbs should be planted with the nose of the bulb upward (or the roots facing downwards) and the Uva-Vulpis Fritillaria should be planted roughly 4" deep and 2" apart from one another.

Note: For some bulbs you may not be able to tell which way is up or down, in these cases just plant them on their side and they will adjust on their own.

When to Plant Uva-Vulpis Fritillaria?
  Fritillaria Bulbs are normally planted Late Fall, and most Uva-Vulpis Fritillaria will begin to flower sometime in Mid Spring.
