Fritillaria meleagris Alba

Fritillaria meleagris Alba

Fritillaria meleagris Alba is a meadow style fritillaria with white chequered style flowers, suited to damp grass, orchard planting and softer naturalistic spring schemes.

Description

Fritillaria meleagris Alba is a meadow style fritillaria valued for its white chequered style flowers and its ability to create a natural, lightly wild spring effect. It is particularly useful for Irish horticulturists, councils and landscape managers working on orchard margins, damp grassland, estate planting and biodiversity led projects where a softer character is preferred over formal bedding. The nodding flowers bring detail and movement to the planting and are especially effective when used in drifts large enough to read as a natural colony. In the right moisture retentive conditions it contributes both ornamental value and a more established landscape feel.
