Plant it about 2 to 3 times as deep as the flower bulb itself is high and the same applies in terms of distance; Maintain 2 to 3 times the width of the flower bulb. The flower bulbs of the imperial crown contain the remaining holes from the stems of the previous year. The flower bulbs are best planted horizontally, with the flower stem hole to the side so that no water runs into the hole of the flower bulb. This way you avoid rot and can enjoy this beautiful spring bloomer every year.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlant the bulb in a good, nutrient-rich, humus-like and water-permeable soil. With clay soil, mix in a lot of sand and possibly a layer of pebbles at the bottom of the planting hole so that water can drain even better. As soon as the shoot of the plant appears above the ground in the spring, give the plants some organic nutrition for an even better result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe spent flowers are cut off at the top and the rest of the plant is left to die, so that the strength of the green returns to the bulb. The flower bulbs can remain in the ground during the summer, but if they become too crowded after a few years due to propagation, they are best dug out and distributed to other places. The flower bulbs are then stored in a warm place in the shed during the summer and replanted in October.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMoles and voles\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoles and voles disappear from the garden because they do not like the sulphurous terpene that the bulb produces.

According to the stories, the flowers bowed to Jesus as he was on his way to Golgotha ​​in the garden of Gethsemane. When Jesus walked by, all the flowers bowed to him except the imperial crown, which remained arrogantly upright. An angel descended and thundered the flower. The then white flower blushed with shame and immediately let her flowers hang and out of respect they hung forever and because the sweet nectar drops look like tears it seems as if she will also continue to cry forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt symbolizes majesty and wealth, as the flower bulb propagates poorly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBuy Organic Fritillaria imperialis 'Rubra Maxima'\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSkal NL-BIO-01 certified: 109459\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePackaged individually or choose a stacking discount!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStacking discount:\u0026nbsp;\u003cstrong\u003eA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan be ordered from June '25!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEU shipping €8.95 - \u003cstrong\u003eFree shipping\u003c\/strong\u003e from €100 purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCharacteristics\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"ecwid-description-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlowering time:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApril - May\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlanting time:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrom September\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlanting depth:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15 cm deep\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlanting distance:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 cm apart\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70 cm high\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlower diameter:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15 cm wide\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLocation:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePartial shade, sun\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSoil PH:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLoam, sandy soil - Slightly acidic\/neutral\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWinter hardiness:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVery winter hardy\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePropagation:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGood (naturalizes)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTurkey and surroundings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFamily:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cem\u003eLiliaceae\u003c\/em\u003e (lily family)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrange\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBee-friendly:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFragrant:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBulb size:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18+\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/1607\/5608\/files\/EU_Organic_Logo_Colour_OuterLine_rgb.jpg?v=1730902844\" alt=\"Skal organic quality mark - NL-BIO-01\" width=\"159\" height=\"106\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNL-BIO-01\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloemoloog","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48368747348312,"sku":"448","price":6.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/1607\/5608\/files\/Bio_Fritillaria_Rubra_Maxima_oranje_rode_keizerskroon_stinzenplant_biologische_bloembollen_4.jpg?v=1748167811","url":"https:\/\/bloemoloog.nl\/en-fi\/products\/organic-fritillaria-imperialis-rubra-maxima-imperial-crown","provider":"Bloemoloog","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
