Beautiful Fritillary native to the Middle East, native to rocky mountain slopes. Spring bell flowers on 12-18” stems with reflexed petals alternating burgundy and olive green. Sun to part shade, well drained soil. Lovely in rock gardens, troughs. Dry while dormant summer>fall so no irrigation required

A subtly appealing Frit for the bulb enthusiast and one which does well in the garden (as opposed to fussing in containers or growing in bulb frames) This has up to 3 bell shaped flowers of a blend of olive-green and purplish-brown. Sun to part sun and decent drainage.
