Black Persian Lily (Fritillaria persica)

Description

Add a touch the exotics to your garden this year with the Black Persian Lily, a tall fritillary with upright flower spikes decked with pendant, deep purple, almost black, bell-shaped flowers in spring.
One of the easier fritillaries to grow, they're fabulous when planted alongside silvery foliage plants, and their upright habit gives almost instant interest to beds and borders.
Blooming in April – May, this stately fritillary sends up a leafy spike which is topped with its characteristic, dusky bells. Perfect in a gravel garden or a large pot where you can mimic the free-draining gravel slopes of its Middle Eastern origins.
Supplied as 3 hand-packed bulbs ready for planting straight away. Plants will reach approx. H100cm x W10cm.
