Unfortunately, I did not have success with these bulbs. We had a very wet winter and I suspect the bulbs rotted in the ground. I plan to try them again this fall in a container.

Hello Angi! Thank you so much for your order! The Fritillaria do like well draining soil and do not respond well to being in very wet soil for long. Unfortunately, the wet winter conditions most likely affected their growth. We recommend planting them in more free draining soil, or amending the planting site with sand or another medium that will improve the drainage around the bulb and its roots.
