Jub Holland Fritillaria Imperialis Rubra (Emperor's Crown Red) Keep Mice and Moles At A Distance!

Height in cm: 90
Flowering time: April - May
Planting time: September - December

This impressive "Emperor's Crown" has orange-red, pendulous, bell-shaped flowers. The strong air of the bulbs keeps mice and moles at bay. It is advisable to plant the bulb at a slight angle when planting to prevent water staying in the bulb. It is not a true 'naturaliser'. If you want to keep the bulbs, uproot them as soon as possible after the leaves have died off and store them in a dry place above 20 degrees until replanting in October. Also nice to combine with other bulbs in a pot on terrace or balcony.
