Delivered to you from late September / Early October
A Rare and Regal Early Bloom that brings an air of exotic sophistication to the garden. With its tall, upright stems, nodding bell-shaped flowers in soft primrose yellow, each delicately flushed with green. Above them, a whimsical tuft of leafy bracts completes the architectural display.Native to Central Asia, it is hardy and surprisingly easy to grow. Plant in deep, fertile, well-drained soil. A sunny, sheltered border or gravel garden suits it perfectly, especially where spring warmth can reach the soil early. Naturalising gradually and returning each year with dependable grace.
When to Plant:
Plant Fritillaria raddeana bulbs in early autumn, ideally between September and October, before the first hard frosts.
Where to Plant:
Choose a sunny or lightly shaded spot in a well-drained location. Fritillarias dislike sitting in wet soil, especially in winter, so a raised bed, slope, or well-amended border works best. Ideal for mixed borders, gravel gardens, or grown through low-growing perennials.
