Planting and care

This bulbous plant should be planted in autumn at a depth of 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8in) in well-draining soil. Adding some sand or fine gravel can prevent bulb rot. After flowering, it is necessary to leave the leaves to allow the bulb to regenerate. The Fritillaria uva vulpis can be grown in a pot with a well-draining substrate.
