Jim asked, >Jane, what potting medium do you use for this species [Fritillaria >raddeana]? And do you grow it in >a pot, a big pot? I use my normal medium of 2 parts coarse sharp sand, 1 part ground pumice, and 1 part leafmold. The bulbs are planted three to a 12-inch deep clay pot, and repotted every other year. I fertilize them 4 times a year with soluble fertilizer. Jane McGary
