Fritillaria imperialis Rubra
The impressive red crown - Imperial or Kaiser’s crown (Fritillaria imperialis ‘Rubra’) looks like a real crown in your garden! It has one, giant sturdy stem. On top of it are hanging several, big bell-shaped flowers with a big green ‘crown’. This variety stands tall and strong, overseeing its empire of other bulbous plants and field flowers. The sturdy stem of the Fritillaria Rubra grows up to 90-120 cm tall. It deserves a title that is worthy of a monarch, growing in a sunny spot with rich soil. This winter-sturdy Kaiser’s crown is the big cousin of the much smaller type – the snake’s head (Fritillaria meleagris) and is much loved by garden lovers. QFB Gardening does not only offer the ‘Rubra’ (lat. Ruber = red), but also the Lutea (lat. Luteus = yellow) and the ‘Aurora’ (orange-red).

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.
