Since we offer a large range of this genus it is impossible to bulk them into one category for cultural treatment. However it is essential to have good drainage for all species. Plant about 10cm deep, generally flowering late March to early May. Hardy in a garden unless stated otherwise and then they should be grown in pots, in an alpine house or cold frame.
The Snakeshead Fritillary, a British Native with variable chequered maroon-purple flowers in April or May. Easy to grow in most gardens, very good for naturalising in grass or large borders providing the soil does not dry out in summer.
Large bell-shaped flowers on stems up to 90cm tall, covered with up to 20 blooms of a deep purplish-plum in a loose raceme in March/April. Prefers some shelter from strong winter winds.
