Fritillaria imp. 'Premier' Bulb

Fritillaria imperialis 'Premier' is a captivating bulbous perennial celebrated for its dramatic floral display. The plant features tall, upright stems that bear clusters of orange, purple-veined, bell-shaped flowers, each crowned with a distinctive whorl of leaf-like bracts that add architectural interest. Glossy, strap-like green leaves form a lush base, contrasting beautifully with the vibrant blooms above. This variety thrives best in full sun and prefers well-drained soil with a sheltered position to protect its towering flower spikes from strong winds. Blooming occurs in spring, providing a vivid splash of colour in mixed borders or naturalistic garden areas. Beyond its striking flowers, 'Premier' produces attractive seedheads that enhance winter garden interest. Resistant to deer and rabbits, it supports pollinators, making it a valuable addition to wildlife-friendly gardens and versatile enough for both formal and informal planting schemes.
