Fritillaria eastwoodiae Care
Like many species F.eastwoodiae likes a very dry dormant period in summer.
A sunny position and a well drained soil are essential.
Planting
Like most bulbs they look great in clumps. We like 7 – 10 in a group, and unevenly spaced for a more ‘natural’ look.
They grow equally well in the rock garden and in a well drained container in full sun to part shade.
