Hi! I just fell in love with this flowers and came across your video. I live in a hotter climate weather (zone 9b, California). I have been looking online for more info. Some says I can plant them in my zones. But all of the retailers selling bulbs states that it is for zones 4-8. Do you think I can plant them in my zone with special care? And if you know what that special care is, please share 🙏🏼😊
I have four pots of five crown imperials growing, just wondering if it's possible to transfer them to the ground or do they have to stay in pots? Thanks 😊
Hi, I live in Scotland where we get more rain than most. My bulbs are now flowering and they are beautiful but I am wondering if I need to lift the bulbs again and dry them off till next season - thanks
Any suggestions for simple ways to protect the bulbs from becoming waterlogged over the winter and rotting? We have a very small house and no green house or shed, so the container has to stay out side all the time and I've lost my previous bulbs to rotting.
Hi Roxy, Pot feet are brilliant inventions that lift pots up off the ground. This ensures that water can exit through the holes in the bottom and drain away. You can buy special pot feet or use small bricks. You can even use old wine corks too. Lift all your pots up in autumn as the weather starts to turn. Thanks for watching!
@@JParkersBulbs Thank you. I've planted up three bulbs following your instructions so hopefully once I've got the pot up off the ground they'll be sorted for the winter and I'll have some beautiful flowers on the summer. I do love all the frilliary family.
QUESTION: I received SEEDS from China marked "Fritilla imerialis lutea (Yellow Crown Imperial). Are these the same thing? If I am planting seeds, WHEN do I plant them (in zone 7)? and should I start them indoors first? Thanks.
Hi Annie, yes they are, you can sow their seeds at any time, by covering them in compost or grit at 5mm deep. You can grow them outdoors by keeping them in a well lit spot.
@@victoriafrankiewicz4441 Am going to plant them on May 1st outdoors. Even though we are zone 7, right here in middle lower TN, it acts like zone 6, so am going by that last frost date.
yes the hardiness zone. i bought some of these bulbs for the first time a few weeks ago and have not been able to find reliable info on when i should plant them. im in zone 8a
Our Fritillaria collection mentioned require planting in the autumn time for spring flowering. They need a deep, rich, well-drained loam soil, preferably alkaline, and a warm, sunny position where they can be left undisturbed for many years.
These are beautiful bulbs, very exotic bloom and stem, Ive grown 4 bulbs in a larger pot, and I love your help to advise how to plant.. Thank you.
Wonderful! I am from India. I wish the weather conditions where I live were conducive to growing all the beautiful plants you talk about!
You should know- you’re a wonderful man! Love your show!
Plant the bulb on its side on a layer of gravel helps stop rotting lift when all foliage died down store in saw dust in a cool dry place
They are beautiful , when ya plant em do they come back next year again ?

just wondering how your Fritillaaris seeds have done?
I also purchased seeds from China .

If the bulbs dry out are they done for? Or can you still plant them?
Hi Heidi, your dried bulbs may not be entirely dead, but they will probably only produce foliage that year.
what zone are you in? when would be a recommended time for planting these in zone 8a ?
Hi, could i ask what you mean specifically by zone? are you referring to the hardiness zone? Thanks!
yes the hardiness zone. i bought some of these bulbs for the first time a few weeks ago and have not been able to find reliable info on when i should plant them. im in zone 8a

it seems other advice says bulbs from seed can take up to 7 years to reach flowering size...is this correct?
Ship this to Miss Sanders Sanders no, no I
