Fritillaria imperialis - Imperial fritillary

continental : These plants prefer a sunny location, where they can enjoy direct solar rays even throughout the whole day,
These plants are grown in the garden year round because they are rustic.

alpine : Let's grow the the Fritillaria imperialis in a sunny place, with direct solar light.
These plants are rustic, they can stand the heat and cold, therefore they can be planted outside.

mediterranean : Plant which needs a few hours a day of solar light.
These plants can stand the cold weather, they can be grown as garden plants during the whole year.

continental : During this time of year very frequent watering is advised, even daily if the climate is very hot and dry; let’s try to keep the soil cool and damp. Irrigate every 0-1 weeks, during the evening or morning hours.

alpine : The Fritillaria imperialis should be watered regularly, to maintain the substratum slightly damp using 3-4 glasses of water; if the climate is very hot and there are scarce precipitations it might be necessary to water every 1-2 weeks, or more often than that.

mediterranean : We suggest watering often, trying to keep the soil slightly damp with 5-6 glasses of water, but avoiding excesses; the forming of water stagnations also harm those plants which love wetness, usually the frequency of watering is every 0-0 weeks.

Feed Fritillaria imperialis : In the summer we should fertilize only the bulbous plants in vegetation, which have a lush foliage; let’s act every 10-15 days, adding specific fertilizer to the irrigating water.

Adversity Fritillaria imperialis : Summer treatments should be applied only in cases of displayed infesting; a dry climate favours the development of ticks and rust. During this period of the year, since there are many useful insects in the garden, it is advisable to avoid using wide-range products, favouring the use of specific products against each type of parasite. Let’s apply the treatments during early morning or evening hours.
