Fritillaria meleagris (Plum & White mix)
- Loved by Pollinators
- Naturalises
This snakeshead fritillary looks brilliant at the front of a border or naturalised in grass
If you want them to get established, you must leave plants to set seed and so do not mow until late June/July. They will then slowly naturalise as they do in the wild. Exquisite and beautiful, yet easy to grow.
