Crown Imperial
The large bulbs have grown and bloomed, but as very often, they are not yellow but orange... it's a shame, that's partly why we buy a lutéa... and it's the same for all 4. It's a pity considering the price." Analysis of the translated text: - The word "bulbes" has been translated as "bulbs" correctly. - The phrase "ont poussé et fleuri" has been translated as "have grown and bloomed" correctly. - The phrase "mais comme très ( trop ) souvent" has been translated as "but as very often" correctly. - The phrase "ce n'est pas jaune mais orange" has been translated as "they are not yellow but orange" correctly. - The phrase "dommage c'est un peu pour ça qu'on achète une lutéa" has been translated as "it's a shame, that's partly why we buy a lutéa" correctly. - The phrase "et c'est pareil pour les 4" has been translated as "and it's the same for all 4" correctly. - The phrase "Dommage vu le prix" has been translated as "It's a pity considering the price" correctly. Overall, the translated text accurately conveys the meaning and context of the original French text in British English.

Description
Fritillaria imperialis 'Lutea', known as crown imperial, is a delicate fritillary with yellow bell-shaped flowers. It reaches a height of 90cm (35in).
This perennial bears shiny, linear, green leaves. Its stalk displays approximately 5 trailing bell-shaped flowers arranged in a crown. This rigid stem is topped with a plume of dark green, shiny leaves that resemble the foliage at the base.
This fritillary thrives in moist but well-drained soils, even poor ones. The bulb's bug-like scent repels moles but not mice. A gravel bed at planting can provide partial protection against rodents. Growing it in a deep, well-drained pot and keeping it in a cold greenhouse during winter is more suitable for rare species.
Fritillaria Imperialis 'Lutea' looks spectacular in mass plantings with green and white or yellow Viridiflora tulips.

Planting and care
Fritillaria imperialis 'Lutea' thrives in full sun. It needs light but not necessarily direct sunlight. It ideally thrives in a continental climate where winters and summers are dry and springs are humid. Plant it in fertile and well-drained soil. Avoid heavy soil as it may lead to the appearance of fungi. If drainage is insufficient, the fritillary may rot. Plant it from September to October, adding sand, gravel or pumice to the planting hole. Place the bulb at a depth of 20cm (8in). In winter, we recommend mulching the fritillary. Remove the faded flowers if you do not want them to self-seed. Do not water your fritillaries in summer and winter. If the soil is too dry in spring, lightly water (without excess) to start the bulb.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
