Notes

'Adiyaman' Persian lily (Fritillaria persica 'Adiyaman') is a bulb for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. Tall stems reach 24 to 36 inches and carry flowers in early to late spring. Bees visit the blooms. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first.

Pairs well with Verona tulip, Thalia daffodil, White Triumphator tulip, and Purrsian Blue nepeta.
