‘Red Beauty’ Fritillaria

Fritillaria imperialis Vibrant clusters of orange-red inverted bell-shaped flowers, 2–3" long, hang from a peculiar leafy crown atop a tall spike, hence this species’ common name Crown Imperial. Large basal whorl of glossy leaves. Plant the bulb sideways to prevent crown rot. Long-lived if left undisturbed in a good planting site. Prefers full sun and rich well-drained soil high in organic matter—it’s a heavy feeder. Critter resistant. In cultivation since 1500s, native from northern India to Iran.

26–32" tall. Mid Spring blooms, Z3–7. 20cm. NEW!

The Royal General Bulbgrowers Association in Holland (Koninklijke Algemeene Vereeniging voor Bloembollencultuur, or KAVB) puts this large group of diverse flowers into a boring catch-all category: Miscellaneous Bulbs. The expensive catalogs call them accent bulbs; some call them minor or dwarf bulbs (even though some of the fritillaries are huge!); Louise Beebe Wilder covered most of them in her 1936 classic Adventures with Hardy Bulbs. Whatever you call them, most are sweet, colorful, and completely welcome in spring.
