Nodding, checkerboard-patterned blooms in purple and lilac are the most memorable flowers in any spring garden. Their Alice-in-Wonderland charm and short height make them an easy choice for edging walkways and placing in the very front of your garden. Best of all, fritillaria are deer and squirrel-resistant. (Fritillaria meleagris)
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
This short Fritillaria, called Checkered Lily' is famous for the cross-cross pattern in its petals. At only 10", blooming in mid-spring, these are great ornaments for the front edge of the spring garden. Dependably perennial.
