Native to damp meadows and woodlands in Europe, these bulbs need partial shade and abundant moisture, which makes them highly sought after among gardeners who have less than perfectly drained soil. An excellent choice for naturalizing in a moist, shady garden. Heirloom, 1572. Fritillaria are a delight in practically any setting, and their unusual profile draws the eye like a magnet. Give them full sun and a rich, well-drained soil that stays dry in summer. The bulbs have a faint skunky odor, which has the salutary effect of repelling pests, including voles.Bulb size 6/+ Height 9 to 12" Blooming period April - May Bee Friendly, High Deer and Pest Resistance, Rabbit Resistant, Easy To Grow, Naturalizes, Container Planting, Small Spaces, Rock Gardens Light Requirements Full Sun, Half Sun / Partial Shade Excellent Cut Flower Attracts Pollinators Naturalizes Well Crocus bulbs are winter hardy in zones 4-8. Both the plant and the bulbs are resistant to deer and rodent damage. What is my hardy zone? Please use the USDA Hardiness Zone map below to determine what zone you're in. Planting Depth How deep should I plant my fall bulbs outdoors? The basic rule of thumb is that the hole should be at least three times as deep as the height of the bulb. Use the chart below for the required planting depth of your bulbs. Don't worry about your bulbs being planted an inch or two deeper than recommended; in most cases this provides the bulb with a little extra protection. How do I force my bulbs for indoor blooms? If so, most bulbs require a certain amount of chill-time in the refrigerator before they can be forced. Eight to fifteen weeks is the general requirement. See the "Chill Chart" below for approximate chill-times for most bulbs. You should, however, follow the package directions for any bulbs you purchase. If you cut the chill-time short for any bulbs, you may get blooms, but they will probably be stunted or deformed.
