About Persian fritillary

Fritillaria persica is a robust bulbous perennial known for its statuesque presence in the spring garden. It features tall, upright stems reaching up to three feet, adorned with glaucous, lance-shaped, gray-green leaves that spiral elegantly. The plant produces striking racemes of up to thirty nodding, bell-shaped flowers in shades of deep plum to dusky purple. Ideal for borders and focal points, it thrives in well-drained, fertile soil and prefers full sun to light shade.
