Fritillaria
A large family that includes snake’s head and imperial crowns. The imperial crowns are now classified in the Crown group and need extra fertiliser at the time of flowering to flower well again the following year. The Persian fritillary, on the other hand, needs warmth in summer for flower establishment the following year.
First learn about the growing conditions of the species where it feels most at home. There are species for a moist location such as the snake’s head, but also species that prefer drier conditions.
