Description
Fritillaria uva-vulpis (Fox’s Grape Fritillary) is a bulbous perennial with dusty purple to dark mahogany, and bell-shaped flowers, adorned with golden tips and interiors in mid to late spring. The delicate flowers are complimented by lance-shaped, grass-like bluish-green leaves. It is great in containers where the subtle grace of the flowers and their elegant linear leaves can be appreciated up close. These blooms rise gracefully on slender, upright stems, creating a striking display of contrast and texture that enhances rock gardens, borders, and wildflower meadows alike. Fritillaria uva-vulpis thrives in well-drained soil with moderate moisture, preferring full sun to partial shade. It is perfect for small spaces, container gardens, or as an eye-catching companion in mixed perennial plantings. This deer- and rodent-resistant species is not only low maintenance but also an excellent choice for naturalizing, returning year after year to add beauty to the landscape. In addition to its ornamental appeal, Fox’s Grape Fritillary attracts pollinators, such as bees, adding ecological value to the garden. Plant these flower bulbs in the fall, approximately 3-4 inches deep and spaced 4-5 inches apart, to ensure healthy, vibrant blooms in the spring. Ideal for gardeners of all skill levels. Fox’s Grape Fritillary provides a striking contrast when paired with vibrant spring flowers such as yellow daffodils, red tulips, or white crocuses. It also complements more subdued tones, like pastel hyacinths or soft pink tulips. Plant it alongside other bulbs or low-growing perennials to create a dynamic and textured garden display.Listed with ExportYourStore.com
