Care: Fritillaria prefers organically rich soil – amend the area with compost before planting. Feed with a granular flower bulb fertilizer at planting time or in the spring when the leaves emerge. Fritillaria does not like to be disturbed. Once you have chosen its home, it is recommended that you leave it where you planted it. Cut back spent flowers and allow foliage to die back naturally before removing it (4-6 weeks after flowering).
