The striking flowers on this bulbous perennial are a gorgeous deep purple - with patterning like snakeskin! Hardy throughout most of the UK, down to -15°C.

Bring a bit of fashion to your garden with these snake-print blooms. Their striking deep maroon-purple colouring is elevated by the subtle and unusual patterning across each petal. If their Latin name is anything to go by, the Romans thought they looked more like a dice-board - so whether you're a fan of Yahtzee or reptiles, there's something for you. Flowers grow from bulbs atop tall stems, curving towards the ground and nodding in the breeze. Give them a bit of sun and you'll get some distinctive, striking spring flowers.

Bulbous perennial

Flower: columnar upright

Flowers in Spring


Scientific Name
Fritillaria meleagris (dice-box with spots like a guinea-fowl)

Common Name
Snake's Head Fritillary, Chess Flower, Chequered Lily, Guinea-Hen Flower, Frog-Cup, Chequered Daffodil, Drooping Tulip, Snake Heads, Leper Lily

Origin
Native across most of continental Europe, from France to Belarus, Romania, Poland and Italy, to name a few, as well as Russia. Extinct in Belgium.

Pruning Tips
No pruning required; dying back naturally after flowering is best for these blooms.

Wildlife Value
This Fritillary is known for attracting bees, especially bumblebee queens, with its nectar & pollen-rich flowers.

Positioning
Full sun to partial shade, Fritillaries are happy in spots both exposed and sheltered from wind.

Water
Prefers moist but well-drained soil in spring, and doesn't want to dry too much over summer. Avoid overly dry conditions while in growth, but ensure bulbs do not sit in waterlogged soil over winter.

Soil
Ensure soil is humus-rich, fertile and well-drained; Fritillaries are not fussy on the base type of soil or the pH.

Food
Mulch with compost in autumn, and this should be enough nutrients for these plants.

Pet-safe
No, this plant is toxic for many pets.

Sprouts Top Tips
For a naturalistic look, plant in groups and allow them to naturalise over time. Pairs well with other spring wildflowers. Suitable for containers, borders and wildflower meadows.

Extras
This plant has been given the RHS' prestigious Award of Garden Merit for its stellar all-round performance in the garden.

LOVE this tough toy! My teething puppy is still enjoying it!
Color: Hedgehog
LOVE the hedgehog! Very tough! My dachshund has not been able to chew off any of the 'nubs', and does she try! lol The only thing is, the first thing she did was chew off the nose, but I discarded it and watched her closely to make sure she didn't chew off any more, and no, its still being chewed on. Wish I could find more toys like this one!!

Perfect First Toy for Tiny Puppies – Lightweight, Engaging, and a Great Value
Color: Teething Stick, Color: Teething Stick
This Cool Teething Stick has been the absolute best first toy for our 1.5 pound puppy! It’s incredibly lightweight, making it easy for even the tiniest pups to pick up, carry, and play with independently. The soft crinkle sound keeps him entertained without being overwhelming, and the little ribbon ends plus the triangular shapes add just the right amount of texture and interest. For the quality, design, and how much joy it brings, the price is unbeatable. At $4.99, this is an easy must-buy for anyone with a young or very small puppy. Highly recommend for a tiny puppy. I do think the durability could be an issue for a large puppy. Keep in mind this puppy is under 2 pounds.

My puppy loves it
Color: Teething Stick
It's cute and a good size for my chihuahua puppy. It seems to be slightly tearing at the seam in the middle, but hopefully it will hold up.

Good size for my pug!
Color: Dentachew 3 Pk
I love how it’s a good size for my pug it is easy for her to play around with. I had stuffed animals for her to play around with but it looked so silly to watch her play with something that is 10 times as big as her 😂. I had to buy her these toys and she seemed so happy when she first got them. It was so funny and interesting that she had to chew all three toys and decide which one she liked. At first she decided to play with the rope toy and she liked the rope toy, then she got curious with the rubber toys. She has decided that the rubber toys are her favorite and I’ve tried to engage with playing with her with the rope toy. She gets more interactive with the rubber toys! She also looked so relieved while chewing them so that’s a plus!

Dog loved, started to break down after 10 minutes.
Color: Hedgehog, Color: Hedgehog
I don’t know why it’s so difficult to find a quality teething toy that won’t begin to break down within (in this case) the first 10 minutes. I have a 17lb, 5 mos old Bernedoodle and she’d broken two pieces off the snout in 10 minutes and tried eating them. Yeah, yeah, they’d most likely pass - but this shouldn’t happen with a product specifically sold as a dog chew toy and listed for teething. On the plus side, she loves it - but I can’t obsessively monitor her every second of her teething either. Hit with the dog, frustrating for the ‘parent’.
