Quick Overview

Fritillaria imperialis 'William Rex'

Product Description

The Imperial fritillary has always been one of the most reliable and long-lived spring flowering bulbs – I have some I planted at Perch Hill 12 years ago – but with this new variety Fritillaria imperialis ‘William Rex’, you get stronger growth, more flowers from a bulb and even longer garden life than usual. I also love its soft red-brick colouring. An excellent bulb for planting in sun or partial shade.
  • Perfect for pollinators
  • Delivered from late September
