The nodding flowers mostly in shades of green or cream often have interesting purple patterns ( or tesselation)on the petals which gives rise to their name.the tall crown imperial fritillaries have clusters of bold yellow or orangeflowers. Fritillaries flowers from March to May and their height varies from a sem-dwarf 20cm to 1 metre tall( crown imperial fritillary). Suitable for full sun or semi shade and some plants can be naturalised if the soil isn’t too dry.
