Award-winning Fritillaria pallidiflora (Siberian Fritillary) is a bulbous perennial boasting up to 5-6 nodding, pale buttery-yellow, bell-shaped flowers, 2.5 in. long (4 cm), usually faintly checkered brownish-red within. Blooming in mid to late spring, the delicate flowers are complimented by broadly lance-shaped, bluish leaves scattered up and down the slender stems. This lovely Central Asian plant has proven to be quite a reliable garden plant. It is at home in naturalistic plantings in the woodland garden and can be grown in a raised bed amongst the roots of deciduous shrubs with some protection from excessive wind and rain.

  • Recipient of the prestigious Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society
  • Grows up to 6-28 in. tall (15-70 cm).
  • Plant in fall in a full sun to part shade area in fertile, humus-rich, well-drained soil for best results.
  • Charming in groupings in borders, cottage gardens, rock gardens or prairies and meadows.
