Fritillaria imp. 'Rubra' Bulb

Fritillaria imperialis 'Rubra' is a striking bulbous perennial known for its tall, stately stems that rise dramatically to display clusters of rich, ruby-red bell-shaped flowers. Each flower is topped with a distinctive crown of green, leaf-like bracts, enhancing its architectural appeal. The plant features glossy, strap-like foliage that provides a lush backdrop to the vibrant blooms. Preferring full sun and well-drained soil, 'Rubra' thrives in sheltered positions to avoid wind damage that can affect its tall stems.

This cultivar requires moderate care, including protection from harsh conditions and appropriate watering, making it suitable for gardeners with some experience. Its bold presence makes it a valuable addition to mixed borders and perennial beds.
