Taller and more free-flowering than the species, Fritillaria persica ‘Adiyaman’ is a vigorous bulbous perennial which grows up to 2-3 ft. tall (60-90 cm), in a beautiful display of racemes of pendant, bell-shaped, rich plum purple flowers. Blooming in mid to late spring, each stem may carry up to 30 flowers. This beautiful scenery is complimented by lanceolate, gray-green leaves.

  • Winner of the prestigious Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society
  • Specimens that receive what they need often continue to flower year after year in the same location.
  • Plant in fall in a full sun area in organically rich, moist but well-drained soil for best results. The soil must drain quickly and thoroughly; heavy soil will definitely need the addition of extra sand.
  • Spectacular in groupings in beds, borders, rock gardens or naturalized areas.
  • Deer and rabbit resistant
