Fritillaria Persica

Dark and architectural, Persica sends up tall spires of bold indigo-purple bells in April and May — an unusual and deeply beautiful spring bulb for gardeners who want something their neighbours are unlikely to have seen before. In April and May it occupies a quiet but essential space in the spring border — not the loudest thing in the garden, but perhaps the most interesting, and certainly the most worth a closer look. Dutch-grown and hand-selected by BLOM for the health and vigour that makes this genus so rewarding to grow when it is given the right start.
