To cultivate Fritillaria meleagris, plant bulbs in autumn approximately 5-8 cm deep and space them 10-15 cm apart. Ensure bulbs receive adequate moisture during the growing season, watering thoroughly after planting and maintaining even soil moisture. Apply a layer of mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Allow the foliage to naturally wither and yellow after flowering before trimming it back. With their unique beauty and ability to thrive in naturalized settings, Fritillaria meleagris bulbs will bring a touch of wild elegance to your garden year after year.
