Fritillary

Persian fritillaries are impressive bulbous plants. They have firm, strong stems and downward-facing bell-shaped flowers. Their basic green color is complemented by colorful shades. However, Purple Dynamit is a real rarity and was introduced to the market after fifteen years of breeding and selection. Its flowers are dark plum purple to almost purple-black.

Persian lily Green Dreams is an impressive bulbous plant that deserves a place of honor in the plantings of more experienced gardeners. The original species comes from the rocky and sunny slopes of the Middle East, primarily Iran and Turkey, which hints at its habitat requirements. It requires a sunny spot with very well-drained, humus-rich to sandy soil, as the bulbs are sensitive to waterlogging, especially during the summer dormancy period when the plant dies back. On sturdy, thick stems that grow up to one meter tall, it bears clusters of downward-facing bell-shaped flowers. In the Green Dreams cultivar, the basic green color is complemented by subtle shades of plum purple. In the garden, it stands out in groups or as the dominant feature of a spring flower bed, which reliably attracts pollinators. The flowers are also suitable for cutting into a vase, where they stay fresh for a long time, but keep in mind that the entire plant is poisonous.
