Native to the western Himalayas and Asia Minor, Fritillaria uva-vulpis (Fox's Grape Fritillary) is a bulbous perennial with dusty purple to dark mahogany, bell-shaped flowers, adorned with golden tips and interiors in mid to late spring.

- Plant in fall in a full sun to part shade area in organically rich, moist but well-drained soil for best results.
- Charming in groupings in borders, containers, rock gardens or naturalized areas.
- Deer and rabbit resistant.
