Raddeana Fritillaria
Description
Fritillaria raddeana (1 bulb) – Solar crown with amber reflections Proposed by Van Noort
Fritillaria raddeana ushers in spring with its golden blooms , arranged in a star-shaped crown atop a sturdy, slender stem. Lightly scented, each flower, tinged with chartreuse green and pale amber, sways gently in the breeze like a plant flame .
Earlier than the famous Fritillaria imperialis, it nevertheless shares its royal allure and very architectural silhouette, while offering a softer and more subtle presence. It likes sunny corners, well-drained soils, and naturally finds its place in bright beds , elegant borders or graphic pots . A rare and luminous botanical curiosity , with an almost oriental charm...
