& Fritillaria Spring Bells 40 Bulbs

Fritillaria (Fritillary) ‘Spring Bells’ is an exclusive blend of elegant Fritillaries, perfect for creating a naturalistic display in borders, patio containers, through grass or within rockeries. These easy-to-grow bulbs thrive in sun or semi shade and look so at home in a pretty woodland planting scheme. This mix contains flowers with dainty nodding blooms in classic shades of cream, purple and fresh green. With such truly captivating looks, they just have to be given a spot where they can be admired up close! 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.
