Fritillaria Uva Vulpis x 10
Fritillaria Uva Vulpis is a charming spring-flowering fritillary grown from bulbs, appreciated for its elegant, nodding bell-shaped blooms in a deep purple-red and yellow bicolour.
Location
Plant outdoors in a sunny position. It performs best in well-drained ground, and is particularly at home in a stony border or rock garden setting.
Contents
This pack contains 10 Fritillaria Uva Vulpis bulbs.
Growth habit and size
A compact fritillary that typically grows to 10–20 cm tall and reaches its full size within one year. In early spring it produces nodding, bell-shaped flowers in a purple-red and yellow bicolour, often with several blooms per bulb.

Instructions
Plant the bulbs outdoors in a sunny spot.
Choose a well-drained, preferably stony soil; add some sand to the planting hole to improve drainage.
Place the bulb on its side so the hollow crown does not hold water, and surround it with coarse sand.
Plant at about 8 cm deep and space around 10 cm apart.
Avoid letting the fleshy scales dry out before planting.
Feed with organic fertiliser in early spring.
For the best effect, plant in groups of 5–7 bulbs.
