Fritillaria
Fritillaria is a genus comprising of a huge range of species. Most feature delightful, nodding bell shaped flowers and are happiest in well drained soil in full sun or partial shade. Varieties such as meleagris and michailovskyi will gradually naturalise if left alone. Lily Beetle can be a pest to Fritillaria.
