About this deal

The dwarf crown imperial ( Fritillaria raddeana) reaches a growth height of around 80 cm. The new shoots are usually red in colour while the flowers are a delicate yellow. This species is somewhat sensitive to frost and so requires a location protected from wind and moisture. Rubra Maxima’flowers equally orange-red and reaches a height of 100 cm. This variety is somewhat more sensitive to late frost than its relatives. The crown imperial belongs to the lily family (Liliaceae) and owes its name to the large flowers that hang like crowns. Also, the species name imperialis means imperial. Fritillaria imperialis is naturally distributed from Asia Minor and the Middle East to the Himalayas. It is said that the crown imperial refused to bow its head when Christ was crucified. Later, however, it let its flowers droop and has been crying ever since. Therefore, the Persian name for the historical plant is “Ashk-e-Maryam”– Tears of Mary. In our country, the crown imperial is also known as royal crown, royal lily or crown flower and has been used as an ornamental plant since the Middle Ages. There are a few exceptions to the rule of planting crowns at soil level. Naturally, trees are not planted with the crown at soil level because their crowns are above the trunk. Also, plants like clematis, asparagus, potatoes, tomatoes, and peonies benefit from having their crowns planted below soil level. Bulbous and tuberous plants are also planted with the crowns below the soil. Made in EU.The products of this line have characteristic crystal surface and original shapes.

On trees, the plant crown is the area where branches grow from the trunk. Grafted shrubs are usually grafted above the plant crown, while grafted trees are usually grafted below the crown. Most plants have crowns, except for non-vascular plants like moss or liverwort. What is the Function of Plant Crowns? Although Fritillaria imperialis in itself is a distinctive feature in the garden, it is still worth considering different varieties. We have put together the most beautiful one’s for you. Propagating the crown imperial by seed, on the other hand, is somewhat more laborious: most varieties only seed in the case of cross-pollination, that is, with the help of other varieties. Good fertilisation occurs when at least two different varieties are next to each other and bloom almost simultaneously. The seeds fully mature and can be harvested in late summer. At best, allow the seeds to soak in water for 24 hours before spreading them on substrate or soil and pressing down only lightly. Since it is a so-called cold germinator, the seed needs the winter cold stimulus to germinate in the spring. Crown imperial seeds emerge unevenly, so some seeds may take significantly longer than others. Tip: in spring, make sure the crown imperial is not too dry and water the young plant if necessary – drought stress is not tolerated well during budding. Yes, crown imperial is poisonous to humans and animals. It contains the toxins imperialin and fritillin in all parts of the plant, but especially in its bulb. When consumed, symptoms of poisoning such as nausea and vomiting may occur. Heart and circulatory problems are also possible. Severe poisoning can even lead to cardiac arrest.

What is the Crown of a Plant?

Our plant pot pots has no drainage holes so they can be used as a cover and also as a proper plant pot after drilling the holes in the place which is factory marked for this purpose

The most promising and fastest way to propagate the crown imperial is through daughter bulbs. However, this variant only works for older, more established specimens. To do this, dig up the bulb in late summer once the foliage has turned yellow. Remove the daughter bulb, which can be seen on the outside. The mother and daughter bulbs can be replanted directly a sufficient distance apart.

A Persian crown imperial ( Fritillaria persica) displays several flowers without a leaf head at the end of the flower stalk. This species is sensitive to frost and should be dug up and overwintered before winter. It reaches a total height of 80 cm. The flowers appear in a purple-brown hue.

The Fritillaria genus has other beautiful species to offer our gardens in addition to Fritillaria imperialis: Argenteovariegata’draws the eye with its white-edged leaves. The flowers appear a red colour. This variety grows up to 70 cm tall. Tip: like many bulbous plants, the crown imperial does not tolerate waterlogging. Therefore, place a drainage layer of gravel or chippings before you plant the bulbs. Lutea Maxima’grows up to 100 cm tall and blooms a brilliant yellow. The smell of this variety is very intense.

The crown is an important part of the plant because it is where the plant transfers energy and nutrients between the roots and stems. Most plants are planted with the plant crown at or just above soil level. Planting crowns too deep can cause crown rot. Crown rot will ultimately kill the plant because its roots and stems will not be able to get energy and nutrients that they need. Another our new proposal. The upper part of the pot is enriched with a unique, delicate and decorative motif of lace. Available in two versions: the lower one and the higher one. Ideally suited for delicate flowers like Orchids, Heather, etc. What part of a plant is the crown? The crown of shrubs, perennials, and annuals is the area where the stems join the root. Roots grow down from the plant crown and stems grow up. Sometimes this is referred to as the plant base.
