This moisture-loving plant remains captivating! The slender stems (20-50 cm) bear several hanging, bell-shaped flowers in purple-speckled and white. They bloom in spring and naturally feel at home among not-too-bushy grasses. In nature, you often find them along rivers.

Latin: Fritillaria meleagris

Sowing method: Sow in a seed tray, first give 2-4 weeks of warmth (18-22° C), then a cold period in, for example, the refrigerator (+4° C) for 4-6 weeks, then gradually warm up to room temperature again, after which germination will follow. Sowing directly into the garden is also possible; in that case, simply let them overwinter, and germination will occur in spring.
