Fritillaria

This family of plants (also known as fritillaries) is very varied in shape and size, they are suitable for many conditions but are easy to grow.

Fritillaria Meleagris (Snake's Head lily) is small and shy, just longing for a meadow or wild garden. Other types can be very tall and formal, like the elaborate Crown Imperials, shooting from great big bulbs, they will stand upright and firm in your borders.
