Description
Burgundy bells with a heart of gold that overflows to the tips of the outer petals are among the gifts Fritillaria michailovskyi has to offer. The nodding flower heads seem to agree with your admiration, but though quite showy, the dwarf habit calls for a position where this Fritillaria michailovskyi (or 'Michael's Flower') can give you its best. Of course, pots are a pleasure, since you can move them to a position of prominence when in bloom, but by planting your blooms in drifts along pathways where narcissi add to the drama as they peep through, they’ll get all the attention and admiration they deserve!
