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 woodland edge or wildflower garden. While they can tolerate drier conditions, they will prefer a spot where the soil remains moist in summer. - Garden care: Plant them 12cm deep (ideally on their sides) from September to November in fertile, well-drained soil, taking care not to damage the fragile bulbs.
- CAUTION toxic if eaten/skin & eye irritant
