Fritillaria imperialis Aurora
The Imperial or Kaiser’s crown Aurora (Fritillaria imperialis ‘Aurora’) is named after the Roman goddess of the dawn.

Fritillaria Aurora has big bell-shaped flowers hanging downwards with a tall, sturdy stem that grows 90-100 cm, topped with a green ‘crown’. This type of Fritillaria is winter-sturdy and does not need any special care. Give the crown imperial a sunny spot in rich soil and it will not disappoint you!

Other information
- Maak eerst de grond waar de fritillariabollen geplant zullen worden goed los. Dan is de grond makkelijker te bewerken.
- Graaf een gat en zorg dat het 2 tot 3 keer zo diep is als de hoogte van de bollen. Zorg dat de afstand tussen de bollen 2 keer zo groot is als de diameter van de bollen.
- Plant de bloembollen in het gat met de puntige kant naar boven of met de wortelbasis naar beneden.
- Bedek de fritillariabollen met aarde en geef ze goed water.
