Fritillaria raddeana

An award-winning fritillaria, raddeana is a stunning spring bloomer, reminiscent of a smaller, earlier-flowering form of the well-known Crown Imperial. Each bulb produces a large umbel of 10-20 bell-shaped, pale chartreuse flowers atop a sturdy, upright stem that rises 2 ½’ tall. Best planted in organically rich, well-drained soils, this easy-to-grow fritillaria will attract butterflies and beneficial pollinators to the garden or landscape while its uniquely pungent scent deters deer and other wildlife pests.
