The snake’s head fritillary (Fritillaria meleagris) is an exceptionally charming bulbous plant that has fascinated gardeners for centuries with its distinctive checkered pattern on the petals. Its bell-shaped flowers, in shades of burgundy, purple, and pink with a characteristic geometric design, appear singly on slender stems, gently swaying in the breeze.
Its natural, delicate form makes it perfect for woodland, naturalistic, or rustic-style gardens. The snake’s head fritillary looks beautiful both as a single accent and when planted in larger groups, creating picturesque patches of color.
