Pretty, pendent, white and pinkish-purple bells with distinctive checkerboard markings on slender stems in April and May. These delightful snake's head fritillaries are perfect for naturalising in a moist woodland edge or wildflower garden. It's essential to select a site where the soil remains moist in summer. - Garden care: After flowering, plant in naturalistic drifts in lawns and grassy areas where they can be left undisturbed. Try to avoid planting directly under shrubs or trees that will soak up all the soil moisture in the summer.
