How to Propagate Fritillaries?
Primary propagation methods for fritillaries include seed sowing post-maturity and bulb division. Success hinges on maintaining cool temperatures, partial shade, and well-drained soil. Seeds require stratification, a technique involving cold treatment to break dormancy. Bulb division is simpler but must be executed cautiously to avoid bulb damage. Propagation is moderately difficult due to sensitivity to environmental conditions and bulb handling. To propagate, collect seeds after seedpods dry, stratify if necessary, and sow in fall. For division, gently separate offsets from parent bulbs in summer and replant immediately.
