Fritillaria raddeana Bulb

Fritillaria raddeana is a hardy, bulbous perennial prized for its tall stems topped with clusters of striking, nodding, pale greenish-yellow bell-shaped flowers marked with subtle brownish spots. Blooming in spring, this species brings early colour and architectural interest to the garden, making it suitable for naturalistic planting schemes or mixed borders. The strap-like leaves are slender and arranged alternately along the stem, providing a fine-textured contrast to the bold flower clusters. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, Fritillaria raddeana prefers well-drained soil and moderate moisture during the growing season. It requires minimal maintenance beyond occasional feeding and ensuring good drainage to prevent bulb rot. Its relatively easy cultivation makes it suitable for gardeners with some experience growing spring-flowering bulbs. This species also attracts pollinators and contributes ecological value to garden biodiversity.
