In just a few weeks time, somewhere early in spring, this imperial plant bursts with incredible force into one of the largest, most beautiful plants in your garden. During this time its strength and power are almost tangible, a highlight in every spring garden. Awesome! As summer conditions in Western Europe are not ideal for this Fritillaria that originates from Turkey and Iran, it usually lasts only a few years. Should you want to try and keep the bulb, lift it as soon as the leaves wither and store it at temperatures above 20° Celsius before planting it again in October.

Planting flower bulbs
When should I plant my flower bulbs? If you want beautiful flowers such as tulips and daffodils in your garden in the spring, you will need to plant flower bulbs in the fall. This can be done as soon as the leaves fall from the trees. Make sure that the spring bloomers are in the ground before the frost sets in.
Summer bloomers such as dahlias and lilies should be planted in the spring so that they bloom in the summer.
Planting flower bulbs is not complicated at all. The same principles apply in principle:
- do not plant the bulb too deep in the ground (usually between 8 and 18 centimeters)
- provide good natural conditions
- be frugal with fertilizer and let the bulb do its work
