Description

Fritillaria Meleagris Mixed

Fritillaria meleagris, commonly known as the snake's head fritillary, is a striking perennial that features distinctive nodding flower heads. Each bloom showcases a unique checkerboard pattern resembling snakeskin, with colours ranging from deep purple to pale lavender, often flecked with white. These enchanting flowers are not only a visual delight but also serve an important ecological function by attracting various pollinators, such as bees and butterflies, that are drawn to their nectar.

Ideally suited for a variety of garden settings, this species thrives in semi-shaded to shaded areas, where it can flourish among grassy patches, beneath trees, or in more naturalistic woodland gardens. The snake's head fritillary adds depth and texture to the landscape, bringing a touch of wild beauty and elegance to gardens and natural areas alike.
