Fritillaria michailovskyi

Fritillaria michailovskyi is native to Turkey and is a striking small plant with a yellow band around the rim of the chunky, reddish-brown, bell shaped flower. These need a well drained soil to persist in the ground, otherwise growing them in a pot in the protection of something such as a bulb frame to keep them drier, particularly in summer, is advisable.

Planting Instructions

Fritillaria michailovskyi bulbs should be planted at 4"(10cm) deep and 4-6" (10-15cm) apart, in a fertile well drained soil. Needs a dry dormant period and will not survive waterlogging during this period. Alternatively growing them in a pot in the protection of a bulb frame to keep them drier, particularly in summer, may be advisable.
