Fritillaria meleagris ‘Alba’ ‘White Snake’s Head Fritillary’ (10 bulbs)

Fritillaria meleagris ‘Alba’ ‘White Snake’s Head Fritillary’ is a bulbous herbaceous perennial with delicate white bell-shaped flowers that hang down from pale green stems with long, thin, grey-green leaves.

Fritillaria meleagris alba bulbs are perfect planted in naturalised flower borders, wild gardens or rockeries. These bulbs produce low flowering blooms that make a wonderful edging at the front of borders and under shrubs and provide the perfect contrast to taller and brighter blooms in the garden.

Alternatively, plant in drifts along a woodland edge or in a wildflower meadow where they can naturalise to create a beautiful display that returns year after year. Each plant will produce at least one, and sometimes two, nodding bell shaped flowers in spring.

Plant Fritillaria meleagris bulbs from September until December and try to plant these bulbs as early as possible to give the roots a chance to bed down before the cold sets in.
