The Fritillaria 'Yellow', 'Crown Imperial Fritillaria', is a fall planted bulb. The impressive Crown Imperial has a bundle of yellow bell-like flowers all around the stem and a whimsical crown of green leaves. The pendulous flowers make a bold statement in the garden. It is by far the most well-known species and also one of the earliest plants to be cultivated. After flowering and complete drying of the leaves, the stems should be cut off just above the ground. Fritillaria are used in borders, containers, and as a specimen plant. They are deer, rabbit, and squirrel resistant.
