Checkered Lilies (Fritillaria meleagris) are winsome,
charming, with bell-shaped blooms in shades of purple (and occasionally
white) marked with a faint checkerboard pattern. Native to damp meadows
and woodlands in Europe, these bulbs need partial shade and abundant
moisture, which makes them highly sought after among gardeners who have
less than perfectly drained soil. An excellent choice for naturalizing
in a moist, shady garden. Heirloom, 1572.
Fritillaria are a delight in practically any setting, and their
unusual profile draws the eye like a magnet. Give them full sun and a
rich, well-drained soil that stays dry in summer. The bulbs have a faint
skunky odor, which has the salutary effect of repelling pests,
including voles.

Planting
Depth
How deep should I plant my fall bulbs outdoors?
The
basic rule of thumb is that the hole should be at least three times as
deep as the height of the bulb. Use the chart below for the required
planting depth of your bulbs. Don't worry about your bulbs being
planted an inch or two deeper than recommended; in most cases this
provides the bulb with a little extra protection. 
How do I force my bulbs for indoor blooms? If so, most
bulbs require a certain amount of chill-time in the refrigerator before
they can be forced. Eight to fifteen weeks is the general requirement.
See the "Chill Chart" below for approximate chill-times for most
bulbs. You should, however, follow the package directions for any bulbs
you purchase. If you cut the chill-time short for any bulbs, you may
get blooms, but they will probably be stunted or deformed.
