Fritillaria crassifolia is a rarely available species from the rugged mountains of Turkey, Iran and Iraq. This exquisitely dainty, dwarf species is adapted to well drained, scree habitats, making it perfect for a rockery, alpine trough or raised bed. In spring, it bears pendulous, bell-shaped flowers flushed with soft green and marked with an intricate brownish-purple chequered pattern, often tipped with yellow. Narrow, silvery grey leaves complete its refined appearance. A truly special plant for collectors and alpine enthusiasts alike. Ultimate height: 15cm (6in). Ultimate spread: 5cm (2in).

Pendulous, bell-shaped flowers flushed with soft green and marked with an intricate brownish-purple chequered pattern Fritillaria thrives in reliably moist, well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter. Add plenty of well-rotted manure or garden compost to the soil prior to planting to improve less than ideal soils. Heavy clay soils are not suitable, and in these conditions grow the bulbs in raised beds or containers. Plant Imperial Fritillary bulbs at a depth and spacing of 20-30cm in a warm, sunny position. Fritillary bulbs are fragile so always handle them with care. Apply a high potash tomato feed at fortnightly intervals after bulbs start to emerge.

Live Plants

Dobies strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

Non Standard Deliveries

Unfortunately like many companies in our industry we are currently only able to supply orders to UK based customers, excluding those in Northern Ireland. We are committed to finding a way that we can resume or normal services again as soon as possible. Please accept our apologies for any inconvience caused.

We reserve the right to contact you and advise an additional charge where necessary and are happy to quote for carriage of specific products to more remote areas. Some items may not be available to all areas.

We reserve the right to revise any carriage charges in the event of carrier price increase or other unforeseen circumstances. We will always advise of the carriage charge before payment is taken.

Large Non-standard items may incur a higher, lorry delivery charge. Charges will be calculated at checkout, but an example of the lorry charges are listed below.
