Fritillaria inodora 'Sunset' Bulb

Fritillaria inodora 'Sunset' is a striking bulbous perennial known for its graceful, nodding clusters of bell-shaped flowers in warm shades of orange and red. Unlike many fritillaries, this variety is noted for its lack of strong scent, making it suitable for those sensitive to fragrance. The plant forms elegant clumps of slender, strap-like green leaves that provide a lush backdrop to its vibrant flowers. It thrives in full sun to partial shade, preferring well-drained soil in a sheltered position. Blooming occurs in spring, adding early season interest to mixed borders or rock gardens. Maintenance is moderate; it requires protection from excessive moisture and winter wetness to prevent bulb rot. With medium difficulty, it is suitable for gardeners with some experience seeking a dramatic and colourful addition to their spring displays.
