Plant of the Week

Summary


Also known as the Snake's Head Lily, Fritillaria meleagris is a British native wildflower which used to be widespread in water meadows.

In spring it bears hanging, bell-shaped flowers in delicate, chequered shades of pink, purple or white. It grows to around 30cm (12in) tall, and will naturalise given full sun and a damp site that doesn't dry out in summer. It will tolerate quite heavy soil.
