Fritillaria imperialis Lutea
Grande fritillaire très connue, originaire des régions montagneuses de Turquie et Iran, qui a prouvé de pouvoir persister dans un climat rude. Feuillage vert clair , 1-2 tiges florales portent plusieurs grandes clochettes jaune. Préfère une légère humidité pendant l'été. La photo jointe, prise dans un jardin traditionnel de l'Aveyron, prouve que cette espèce peut durer longtemps dans un climat un peu plus frais. (a traduire) They ressent being lifted, and need replanting immediately. The large bulbs are extremely tender and require
delicate handling. Plant in very free draining soil and must stay dry during the hot summer months.
The genus
This genus is generally found in the Mediterranean, West of Asia and California on stony hillsides with moisture retentive clays at higher altitudes. Bulbs have very little tunic and can dry out easily. Very light humidity during summer dormancy can be beneficial. Flowers are usually pendulous.
