The striking flowers on this bulbous perennial are a gorgeous deep purple - with patterning like snakeskin! Hardy throughout most of the UK, down to -15°C.

Bring a bit of fashion to your garden with these snake-print blooms. Their striking deep maroon-purple colouring is elevated by the subtle and unusual patterning across each petal. If their Latin name is anything to go by, the Romans thought they looked more like a dice-board - so whether you're a fan of Yahtzee or reptiles, there's something for you. Flowers grow from bulbs atop tall stems, curving towards the ground and nodding in the breeze. Give them a bit of sun and you'll get some distinctive, striking spring flowers.

Bulbous perennial

Flower: columnar upright

Flowers in Spring


Scientific Name
Fritillaria meleagris (dice-box with spots like a guinea-fowl)

Common Name
Snake's Head Fritillary, Chess Flower, Chequered Lily, Guinea-Hen Flower, Frog-Cup, Chequered Daffodil, Drooping Tulip, Snake Heads, Leper Lily

Origin
Native across most of continental Europe, from France to Belarus, Romania, Poland and Italy, to name a few, as well as Russia. Extinct in Belgium.

Pruning Tips
No pruning required; dying back naturally after flowering is best for these blooms.

Wildlife Value
This Fritillary is known for attracting bees, especially bumblebee queens, with its nectar & pollen-rich flowers.

Positioning
Full sun to partial shade, Fritillaries are happy in spots both exposed and sheltered from wind.

Water
Prefers moist but well-drained soil in spring, and doesn't want to dry too much over summer. Avoid overly dry conditions while in growth, but ensure bulbs do not sit in waterlogged soil over winter.

Soil
Ensure soil is humus-rich, fertile and well-drained; Fritillaries are not fussy on the base type of soil or the pH.

Food
Mulch with compost in autumn, and this should be enough nutrients for these plants.

Pet-safe
No, this plant is toxic for many pets.

Sprouts Top Tips
For a naturalistic look, plant in groups and allow them to naturalise over time. Pairs well with other spring wildflowers. Suitable for containers, borders and wildflower meadows.

Extras
This plant has been given the RHS' prestigious Award of Garden Merit for its stellar all-round performance in the garden.

Great travel jewelry case
Color: Black
Great colors. Good size. Easy to pack and carry. Fits a good amount of jewelry. It’s decent quality. I know there is better out there but for the value it’s great. It snaps close and I haven’t had mine accidentally come open at all. The inside is soft. My necklaces did get a little tangled inside but not too bad. I could have put them in there better. Very nice though.

Store it all!
Color: Pink
This is a compact, light weight, efficient, and sturdy/convenient way to securely store jewelry. The small compact case allows jewelry from earrings to necklaces to bracelets and rings to be all together without being tangled and/or on top of each other. I have more earrings than rings so I used the ring area to store the rest of my earrings. The tight clasp allows the lid to be fasten snuggly to the body of the case. The price was right considering what other stores were charging. I chose the pink case which is a very soft pink, as like the case, but there are other colors to choose from. The case is mobile and would stand strong in a carry on case or bag. I highly recommend this item if you are looking to organize and have your jewelry neatly and safely all in one place!

Cute and super convenient for travel
Color: Black
Really happy with this jewelry box overall. It’s compact, lightweight, and perfect for travel. The compartments are well designed for rings, earrings, and even long bracelets, which fit really nicely. The only downside for me is the necklace section. When using multiple necklaces, they can get tangled, so it’s not the most practical part of the case. Other than that, it’s a great product for the price and looks very cute

Nice gift!
Color: Black
I got this as a gift for a coworker and it was cute compact and of good quality. I love the earring compartment for her because she always wears earrings and she travels, I figured it would be a great thing for her to have.
