Planting instructions
- Choose a spot in full sun, partial shade, or light shade with well-drained, humus-rich soil.
- Fritillaria meleagris naturally grows in moist grasslands, but avoid places where water remains standing for long periods in winter, as the bulbs may rot.
- Plant the bulbs with the pointed side facing upwards at a depth of 8 to 10 cm and keep a distance of 8 to 10 cm between the bulbs.
- Water after planting to help the bulbs establish good roots. After that, additional watering is usually only needed during prolonged periods of drought.
- Allow the foliage to die back completely after flowering. This allows the bulb to store enough energy for a rich bloom the following spring.
