Fritillaria Early Mix
Fritillarias are one of the showiest of spring bulbs – with their tall, dark stems crowned with a ring of nodding, bell-shaped blooms they add height and drama early in the season. Fritillaria ‘Early Mix’ offers especially early flowering plus an exquisite colour palette that steers away from the normally brash oranges and reds of Crown Imperials, offering sophisticated shades of peach, apricot and yellow patterned with delicate veining. The flowers are followed by attractive seed heads. Ultimate height: 60 to 70cm (24 to 27in).
