Description
Fritillaria imperialis Rubra Maxim’ is a time-tested favourite, prized for its vivid orange-red flowers and stately form. Reaching heights of 100–120 cm, it delivers unmatched spring presence. The bell-shaped blooms appear in April, offering early-season nectar to bees and other beneficial insects.
Perfect for larger garden schemes and structured borders, this crown imperial pairs beautifully with Tulip Ballerina or the contrasting blue spikes of Muscari armeniacum. Hardy in Irish conditions when planted in deep, well-draining soil in full sun. Best left undisturbed once established.
