The Snake's Head Fritillary is an English native of, now rare, water meadows. As a garden plant it thrives in both sun or partial shade and copes with damp heavy soils either in long grass or in flower beds. By planting in pots of moist compost alongside a path used in early Spring, you can really appreciate the intricate petal markings. Will naturalise.
Growing Info: Plant in damp soil 10cm deep, 10cm apart. If planting into grass, it is often easier to start them off in small pots and then transplant as potted plants.
