Fritillaria Pallidiflora – Potted Bulbs | 12cm Pot (3 Per Pot)

Pale yellow flowering bulbous perennial. Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: humus-rich, moisture-retentive soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: April to May Hardiness: fully hardy Nodding, green-flushed yellow bells appear in late spring or early summer (sometimes up to 6 on each stem), creating an attractive contrast to the grey-green foliage. Each flower can grow to around 4.5cm long, so the overall effect is quite striking. This is accented further by the tuft-like spray of foliage, which often appears above the flowers. A tough but beautiful plant, which will flourish in full sun or partial shade. Enjoy these bulbs in their pots, and then after flowering, plant 10cm (5in) deep and a similar distance apart in fertile, well-drained soil. Allow the foliage to die back completely before removing it, and keep an eye out for slug and snail damage when the new foliage is emerging in spring.
