About Fritillaria Imperialis Rubra Maxima

Rising high above all other plants in the spring garden, award winning Fritillaria Imperialis Rubra Maxima, also known as 'Red Crown', is full of elegance and splendor. This heirloom favourite, has large, bell-shaped flowers of fiery orange-red that grow in clusters under a crown of shiny green foliage and sit atop thick, tall stems. With long-lasting flowers, a musky fragrance that pollinators love and rodents hate, the Rubra Maxima will create a focal point when planted in groups amongst other mid-spring blooms along flower beds and at the back of borders. Easy to grow, this hardy perennial will keep coming back year after year.

How to Grow Fritillaria Imperialis

Planting Fritillaria Imperialis

  • Plant these bulbs in fall.
  • These bulbs typically have a hole in the top centre where last year’s stem grew. This looks odd but is perfectly normal.
  • It is best to plant this bulb on its side - this prevents water collecting at the top of the bulb and causing it to rot.
  • Plant in a sunny to semi-shaded area about 20 cm (8 in) deep and 25 to 30 cm (10 to 12 in) apart.
  • Water thoroughly after planting.

Growing Fritillaria Imperialis

  • These bulbs do best in well-drained soil.
  • Fritillaria do best when the bulbs are left undisturbed for long periods of time. For this reason they are not recommended for containers.
  • Water as needed during active growth periods.

Fritillaria Imperialis Care

  • Fritillaria are deer and rodent resistant and will also keep rodents away from bulbs planted around.
  • When in bloom, feel free to cut some flowers for bouquets. The flowers can be picked without damaging the plant.

Winterizing Fritillaria Imperialis

  • After flowering, the leaves should be allowed to die down. The leaves will gather sunlight and provide nourishment for next year’s show.
  • These bulbs come back for several years.
