Below is our small selection of fritillaria lilies which will be available in the autumn of this year.
Note that Fritillarias (along with Alliums and Narcissus) have the delightful quality of being toxic to deer. Alas, this does not mean you can make a surreptitious dent into your local ungulate population by planting these bulbs, but it does mean that the deer simply won’t eat these. Even when they’re starving; the douglas fir branches will be eaten sooner than these beautiful flowers!
Please read my short rant on stupid deer regarding the occasional experimental test nibble you might discover, but expect these to tolerate even the heaviest of browsing and still stand proud and gorgeous.
