Description
One for the pastel planting schemes, this unusual pale pink flowered Fritillaria stenanthera will happily blend right in! This pretty fritillary is quite hard to come by and not commonly grown, so it’s a real treat to have a group growing in your own garden. Upright yet compact with multiple flowers per stem, they’re a rare treasure suitable for both pots and borders.
Ideal for a gritty soil mix in pots or free-draining garden soil, Fritillaria stenanthera do best when they’re in a sunny, warm site. Try popping some into a gravel garden or sunny mixed border and enjoy a cheery burst of pink-flushed blooms to kick off the spring season!
