Description
Pendulous blooms of greenish ivory-white rise on tall stems to greet the mid to late-spring sunshine. Fritillaria persica 'Ivory Bells' (or Persian lily) joins the ranks of the many flowering plants we’ve taken from Persia, and surpasses them with graceful ease. Combine them with contrasting dark-hued Fritillarias, or let them be the queens of your flower garden in solitary splendour, providing a backdrop for a riot of spring colour. Your Fritillaria persica 'Ivory Bells' will thrive in a moist, well-drained soil with lots of organic content, and is they’re happy with your choice of position, they’re not unknown for popping up again next year!
