Fritillaria persica 'Alba' is a quietly dramatic Persian lily, sending up tall, upright spires lined with creamy, green-flushed bells from early to mid-spring. Its elegant, architectural form threads beautifully through well-considered borders and makes a refined statement in generous pots, particularly against darker foliage and stone.
Best planted in autumn into fertile, moisture-retentive yet sharply well-drained soil, this fully hardy perennial settles into a clump-forming habit over time, rewarding patience with increasingly poised spring displays.
- Colour: Creamy green
- Flower shape: Bell-shaped
- Height: 50–100cm
- Flowering: March–May
- Position: South- or west-facing in full sun
Fritillaria persica ‘Ivory Bells’ is a beautifully poised fritillary, valued for its tall, architectural spires of softly nodding, green-tinted ivory bells. Rising above cool grey-green foliage, it lends a composed, contemporary note to spring borders and looks equally distinguished when threaded through meadow-style planting.
Plant in autumn into fertile, well-drained soil and allow it a little time to settle; by its second or third season it will reward you with a statuesque presence from April through to June. An assured choice for gardeners who appreciate structure as much as flower.
- Quiet drama for late spring — elegant, bell-shaped flowers in refined ivory with a fresh green touch
- Superb vertical form — ideal for borders, naturalising and handsome containers
- Pollinator friendly — a welcome stop for spring-foraging insects
