How deep should I plant these bulbs? Thanks

HI there,

Plant your fritillaria bulbs quite deep with 6-8″ of soil above them.
It is best to plant the Crown Imperial bulb on its side, this prevents water collecting at the top of the bulb and causing it to rot.

Can you tell me why the foliage is going yellow?

Good afternoon,

When your Fritillaria Imperialis’ (Crown Imperial) foliage turns yellow, is when the plant stocks up on nutrients and energy for the next blooming cycle.
