Notes
'Orange Sweet' imperial fritillary (Fritillaria imperialis 'Orange Sweet') is a bulb for borders, specimen planting, and rock gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, loamy or clay soil. The orange-brown flowers open in spring on an erect plant that grows slowly to about 39 inches tall. Deer tend to pass it by. VOF de Keizerskroon bred it.
Pairs well with Munstead lavender, Karl Foerster feather reed grass, and Garlic chives.
