Crown imperials are the handsome giants among a normally small race. Everything about them is on a large scale - the bulbs are fist-size, the robust flower stems can reach m (4ft) in good soil, and the pendent bell-shaped flowers typical of fritillaries are 5 to 8cm (2 to 3in) long and wide. A large clump of these stately plants is an imposing sight, and quite undemanding once the bulbs are established - they may take a season to flower after planting. Efficient drainage is essential, and on the heaviest soils it's a good idea to plant the bulbs sideways in a bed of gravel.

Crown imperials are strong-growing bulbous plants, making rapid growth in the spring, flowering during April/early May and dying down in early summer.
Planting
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.
Where soil conditions are less than ideal it is advisable to thoroughly prepare the site before planting, digging in some well-rotted manure or rich leafmould and grit. Simply putting grit in the bottom of planting holes on heavy soils will achieve little. Add a dressing of Vitax Q4 Fertiliser at about g per sq m (4oz per sq yd) before planting in the early autumn.
Plant deeply at a depth of at least 30cms (1ft) and a similar distance apart. Shallow planting will lead to poor flowering after the first year. If the soil is too wet to allow planting at this depth then it is not a suitable site. Consider constructing a suitable raised bed.
It is claimed that planting the bulb on its side may prevent rot when the bulb is during the summer. Over a season, however, bulbs tend to right themselves.
Add a mulch of well decayed as th
