Plant in the autumn to flower in the spring.

I have them in my alpine gravel garden
Put them in warm slightly soapy water overnight before planting to re-hydrate them. Don't be disappointed if they do not grow. Dried out Fritillary bulbs as sold in shops are often dead. Better to buy them actually growing.

Thanks for all your help, folks. Will plant them out during the coming week (weather permitting) and will definitely soak them first. Thanks for the tip! Cheers, Chox.
I saw your question in the main topic section area first, so left an answer there.
