Fritillaria is an elegant heirloom flower making its comeback.  Unusual flowers are a real magnet for the eye and fritillaria is by far one to behold.  Crown Imperial showcases large pendant bell-shaped flowers sitting atop sturdy three foot stems and capped off with a crown of upright foliage. This winter hardy spring flower boasts large, colorful blossoms (up to 3 weeks) longer than its counterparts. Apart from its stately, unique appearance, it’s highly useful in the garden. The flowers produce a musky fragrance that keeps critters away and protects surrounding flowers from potential nibblers.
