Plant description

Snake's head fritillary are much-loved for their nodding, bell-shaped flowers, which rise above the grass-like, grey-green foliage. Ideal for naturalised planting schemes, they are often seen partnered with ornamental grasses, but they will also look charming in mixed borders or patio pots.
