Fritillaria reuteri is a rare species from Iran with narrow, shiny, green leaves and upright stems to 10 inches tall each with 1-8 (but usually 2) broadly bell-shaped, burgundy flowers with yellow tips. Loves winter and spring moisture with dryer summers. This bulb is so rare that little information exists on its hardiness so we’re guessing zone 6 but it could be hardier.
