Fritillaria meleagris

Plant of the week

Fritillaria meleagris (small spring flowering bulb for naturalising or pots)


Tip of the week 

Scarify your lawn – use a spingbok (spring tine rake) and rake over the area in all directions. The aim is to rake out dead grass and moss. Do this before mowing for a few weeks – it will give grass chance to grow strongly and it will soon recover from the scarification process.


Please comment below if there is anything you would like to ask the Plant Doctor.
