This Fritillaria is very pretty – and just as hard to handle. As naked bulbs tend to dry out easily, we wrap them in moist peat the minute we receive them. Should you buy them, we expect you to unpack and plant them the moment they are delivered at your door. The best spot for them to be planted is in moist, permeable soil, which is rich in humus. Once they take, they will be yours to enjoy for years. And if you are lucky, you may even find a rare white Snake’s Head Fritillary amongst them. The photograph shows the flowers in bloom on the river forelands of the river Ijssel, where they grow in the wild.

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
