Our "Bloom or Bust" Promise

Mix, often admired for its multi-color colouring, is a bulb variety especially well suited to naturalising.

Fritillaria meleagris Mix is a wonderfully characterful spring bulb, prized for its gently nodding, bell-shaped flowers in a refined mix of rich purple, occasionally joined by the odd white bloom. Each petal carries an intricate chequered pattern that reads beautifully at close quarters and feels perfectly at home in lightly wild planting.

Thread it through grass, naturalise it at the edge of a woodland path, or tuck it into pots where its delicate detailing can be enjoyed up close. Given a consistently moist yet well-drained position, it will settle in quietly and return with poise each April.

  • Distinctive detail: chequered bells in purple with occasional white
  • Perfect for naturalising: especially elegant through grass and woodland edges
  • Wildlife-aware choice: pollinator friendly and noted as deer resistant

Important: Fritillaria bulbs dislike drying out. Plant as soon as possible after delivery for the best results.

Where to Plant:

Fritillaria 'Mix' needs full-sun, partial sun and a warm, sheltered position for the best flowering. Plant into fertile, humus-rich soil that drains well, and choose a spot protected from strong winds, especially for taller varieties.

How to Plant:

Plant bulb from September to December once conditions are suitable. Set them at the correct depth for the variety, spacing 10–15cm apart where relevant, then firm in gently and water well after planting.

Aftercare:

Water regularly in dry weather and feed every two to three weeks once buds appear. Stake taller stems early and deadhead to keep plants flowering. After flowering, allow foliage to die back naturally before lifting or protecting bulb according to local conditions.

I ordered the mixed hyacinth collection and the scent in my garden this April was absolutely heavenly. Every single bulb produced a strong, beautiful flower and the colours were stunning together. A fantastic purchase, I'll be back for more next year!
