Description
Fritillaria 'Green Eyes', also known as Sewerzow's fritillary, is a charming spring bloomer that adds a touch of mystery to your garden. Its striking flowers start with a delicate purple blush on the outside, while the inside reveals a vibrant lime green, centred with a dark eye. These unusual blooms emerge from the ground in spring, with the flower cluster appearing first, followed by a gracefully lengthening stem. The pagoda-shaped flowers of Fritillaria sewerzowii 'Green Eyes' unfurl, creating an elegant display that stands out without being overbearing.
Standing at around 30–40 cm, Fritillaria 'Green Eyes' offers a distinctive look, perfect for adding vertical interest to borders or rockeries. Its unique colour combination brings a fresh, almost exotic feel to the garden, and the blooms last for several weeks, providing extended beauty as they develop and mature. Whether paired with other spring flowers or used as a statement piece, Fritillaria sewerzowii 'Green Eyes' brings both elegance and intrigue to any planting scheme. Plant it in well-drained soil, and this hardy perennial will reward you with its eye-catching, pagoda-like flowers year after year, adding a touch of spring magic to your garden.
Sewerzow's fritillary is named after botanist Ivan Sewerzow, who first documented its unusual lime-green and purple blooms in Central Asia.
