& Fritillaria Imperialis Maxima Lutea 6 Bulbs

This Fritillaria has been awarded an RHS AGM! Fritillaria Imperialis ‘Maxima Lutea’ makes a truly stunning show, producing bell-shaped bright yellow blooms, topped with an explosion of bright green bracts. It brings an exotic feel to your beds, borders and containers, loved for its height and bold colour which makes a dramatic, eye-catching display. Its scent has also been known to deter moles and rodents from the area. Fritillaria thrives in reliably moist, well drained soil that is rich in organic matter. Add plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost to the soil prior to planting to improve less than ideal soils. Plant fritillary bulbs at a depth of 10cm (4") and 10cm (4") apart in a sunny or partly shaded position. Fritillary bulbs are fragile so always handle them with care. Planting them on their sides will help to avoid water collecting in their hollow crowns and prevent the bulbs from rotting. For natural looking drifts of fritillary flowers, gently cast the bulbs across the planting area and plant them where they land! When growing fritillaries, it is essential to allow their foliage to die back naturally as this will feed the bulb for the following year. Where bulbs are naturalised in grass, avoid mowing the area until their foliage has died back.
