hi Terry2, I planted fritillary 4 years ago in a pot and set the pot in a flowerbed, then let them go to seed and die back. They have now seeded themselves all round the garden and come up in expanding numbers. They have done the work for me without any special preparation on care and every spring I get new surprises. I love it when plants just do there thing
hi quick question redarding the Snakes Head seed heads, any one know how long they take to release the seed? im on constant lilly beetle watch until they do.....
I think it depends on how hot and dry the weather is, if it remains cool and wet the plant doesn't get the signal to die back, I'm in Northern Ireland, it takes forever here and then in july they suddenly die back and throw seed
