One of our favorite bulbs
We first planted these fritillaries almost 10 years ago, Unsure how they'd do under a maple, we put in maybe 10 or 12. They're still increasing every year, and are a humble but delightful addition to a bed beside the driveway, where we can see them every day amidst the low daffodils and ground covers. Just bought 100 more!
You need these
They are extremely inexpensive, very dependable and simply lovely. Who could ask for more?
Amended review for good customer service
My fritillaria bulbs did not grow despite planting according to directions, but I was given a replacement credit promptly and I appreciate the good customer service! (I don't see an obvious way to delete or amend my previous review — apologies for creating a second.)
