Description
Organic Fritillaria imperialis Rubra brings imperial drama to spring planting with tall stems topped by clusters of fiery-orange bell-shaped flowers beneath a leafy crown. Growing up to 1.2 m, this certified organic cultivar makes a bold architectural statement in sunny Irish borders, naturalised wild gardens, or herbaceous displays.
Rubra is particularly valuable for early-season structure, contrasting well with softer perennials like Camassia cusickii. As an organic selection, it’s free of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, offering a safe and sustainable choice for biodiversity-rich landscapes.
It performs best in deep, well-drained soil with full sun and benefits from being left undisturbed.
