The Guinea-Hen Flower 'White', 'Fritillaria Meleagris', a fall planted bulb, produces dainty white bell-shaped flowers that are extraordinary textured, like a checkerboard. This species is native to Europe, where its bulbs usually grow in very moist locations. They are exquisite when naturalized with ferns or in tall grass, where they quickly form large colonies. If conditions are right, the bulbs are long-lived and multiply well. This plant is great for mass planting, containers, rock gardens, and borders. They are also deer, rabbit, and squirrel resistant.
