Description
Just when you thought Crown Imperial fritillaries couldn’t look any funkier, along comes Fritillaria imperialis 'Aureomarginata' with its dapper gold-margined foliage for extra snazzy appeal! Powering through your planting schemes in spring every year, this fearless variety shows off a dashing crown of glowing orange blooms at the top of its tall stem, along with green and yellow pineapple tuft of foliage on the top. A real exotic treat, it undoubtedly introduces a steamy tropical feel to the garden which you can enjoy from as early as March – what better way to get geared up for the new season ahead?!
This towering fritillary makes a big statement wherever it is. Fabulously fruitful in the garden but also in the home as an impressive cut flower, it’s well worth planting plenty of these so you can afford to snip a few from the garden to show off indoors in a big vase!
