In late summer you should plant the imperial crowns and make sure that the soil is poor in humus. The bulbs are planted about 20 centimeters deep in the ground.
Late summer is the right time to plant crown (Fritillaria imperialis)
bulbs. They then have enough time until spring to take root and sprout.
- Imperial crowns are available in different colors. They usually bloom in early spring and have a strong scent.
- The large bulbs should be planted about 20 centimeters deep.
- The soil should be low in humus. To make sure that the bulbs don't start to rot in the summer soil, you should put a small layer of sand under the bulb.
- It is also important that you put the bulbs in the right way around in the soil, otherwise no flowers can grow in spring. Sometimes you can hardly distinguish the sides and you have to take a closer look.
- The top of the onion is slightly dented. So that no water collects here, you should place the onion at a slight angle in the ground.
- Once planted, the imperial crowns come back every year and can make the garden bloom in spring.
