Fritillaria elwesii Bulb

Fritillaria elwesii is a striking bulbous perennial known for its elegant nodding bell-shaped flowers that bloom in spring. The flowers exhibit a subtle combination of creamy white to pale yellow shades with delicate mottled markings, creating a refined and graceful appearance. Upright stems rise above slender, lance-shaped leaves, adding architectural interest to borders, rock gardens, and naturalised plantings. This species thrives in well-drained soil under full sun, requiring a dry summer dormancy to maintain vigour and promote healthy flowering. It is relatively low-maintenance and deer-resistant, making it a valuable addition to garden schemes where subtle beauty and reliable spring colour are desired. Fritillaria elwesii’s unique floral form and soft tones bring a delicate charm to early-season displays.
