Let Fritillaria 'Red Beauty' fill your flowerbeds with spicy spring colour! There’s no doubt that crown imperials have a fearless enthusiasm, rocketing skywards in spring to form impressively large and exotic-looking plants with the minimum of fuss. Chunky, strong, purple stems are topped with a generous cluster of fiery red lamp-like pendulous blooms, on top of which is a fancy forelock of zesty green leaves. Fritillaria imperialis 'Red Beauty' is flamboyant, classy and fascinating—it’s amazing to think that a plant like this can burst out of one easy-to-grow bulb!

Whilst Fritillaria 'Red Beauty' does look a quite tropical, it is hardy and the bulbs will be perfectly fine tucked up in the soil outdoors over winter. Their outlandish appearance rarely fails to impress—flowering usually around the Easter holidays (March/April.)
