Description

Fritillaria meleagris (Snake's Head Fritillary) is a woodland bulb that grows as a multicolored mix of pure white and white-checkered reddish-purple nodding bells. Fritillaria meleagris is also commonly known as Guinea Hen Flower, Frog-cup Flower, Guinea Flower, Lazarus Bell, Chequered Lily, Chequered Daffodil, and Drooping Tulip. Plant in shade with enriched, moisture retentive soil. Where possible, plant these wildflowers near north and east facing walls near downspouts from the roof, which provide the extra water they enjoy. For best success, plant Fritillaria bulbs at a 45-degree angle so they don't fill with water and rot. 12-15" tall. Mid-spring blooming.
