suitable for the dry garden.   Zone 6-9.

Commonly known by the unfortunate name 'Stink Bells', this lovely
Fritillaria from the San Francisco Bay Area is not at all stinky to me.

A superb selection of F. affinis somewhat similar to F. affinis v. tristulis,

A beautiful species with waxy, glistening white flowers finely streaked with red
and brown, on 9-12" stems. Best grown in a container or alpine house, since it
is native to stony scree slopes.   Zone 6-9.

Fritillarias

The Fritillaries native to the Western U.S. are greatly sought after by those who have a specialized
interest in this genus, since they include some of the most colorful and desirable of all Fritillaria
species. Closely related to lilies, they are, however, exacting in their requirements, and many need
an experienced hand to succeed in cultivation. All the Fritillaries native to the West need a dry
summer rest.
