How do you grow checkered lilies?

How do you plant Fritillaria Meleagris?

Fritillaria meleagris bulbs should be planted in small unregimented drifts of 5-7 bulbs 4" (10cm) apart and about 4" (10cm) deep at variable spacing (10-15 per sq ft) in heavier soils in the open or slight shade, perhaps in rough grass. They like cool damp growing conditions in spring before a drier summer rest.

How do you plant guinea fowl flowers?

These bulbs need moist soil even when dormant, and thrive in most soil types from sandy to clay soils as long as they do not remain too wet or too dry.

How deep do you plant checkered lilies?

Plant in prepared soil at five inches deep, with 16 bulbs per square foot (or four to six inches between bulbs). You may choose to crowd the bulbs more closely if you're going for a clustered look or when using containers. In this case, maintain the five-inch depth, but put no more than an inch between the bulbs.

Can you plant Fritillaria in pots?
