Fritillaria raddeana
Native to central Asia, Fritillaria raddeana is a ravishing bulbous perennial boasting clusters of up to 20 widely conical, pendant, pale greenish-yellow flowers, topped by a crown of small leaves. They rise high at the end of an upright stem bearing lance-shaped leaves in whorls on the lower portion of the flowering stem. Blooming in mid spring, this tall species is similar in habit to Fritillaria imperialis but more subtle and delicate-looking. Robust, easy and reliable, it will come up year after year and bring its regal elegance in the garden.
- Grows up to 3 ft. tall (90 cm)
- Specimens that receive what they need often continue to flower year after year in the same location.
- Plant in fall in a full sun or light shade area in well-drained soil.
- Spectacular in groupings in beds and borders.
- Deer and rabbit resistant
