Fritillaria meleagris 'Alba' Bulb

Fritillaria meleagris 'Alba' is a striking white-flowered cultivar of the snake's head fritillary, valued for its nodding, bell-shaped blooms and ability to naturalise in damp, grassy areas. This variety displays elegant, ivory-white flowers with faint green markings, standing on slender, upright stems above fine, grass-like foliage. It thrives in moist but well-drained soils, particularly those that remain damp in spring and dry out in summer. Ideal for meadows, woodland gardens, and pond margins, it performs best when planted in groups for maximum visual impact. Once established, it will gently spread and may self-seed in suitable conditions, forming charming drifts over time. This plant is especially well-suited to naturalistic or wildlife-friendly settings and provides early nectar for bees and other pollinators emerging after winter.
