Fritillaria Davisii
M5435
Chocolate-brown bells with faint chequering and chartreuse interiors offer a rare colour pairing. Compact and quietly exquisite, this fritillary Davisii suits alpine settings or troughs.
Plant bulbs deeply in well-drained soil and allow to naturalise undisturbed.
A collector’s treasure blooming each April.
Care Guide
Failing to flower after the first year is due to a lack of potash fertiliser, which is necessary for spurring bloom formation for the following year’s flowering.
Plant large bulbs 15cm (6”) deep and small bulbs 8cm (3”) deep, in well-drained soil.
Plant bulbs on their side to prevent water getting into the hollow crown.
