Anyone know what sort of vase life I should expect from them? Ta

Rosa, I've no idea what they are - but sounds intriguing. Can you enlighten me?

Oooh I got all excited that you had the answer Tree .

BBC - Gardening - Plants - Plant Finder - Fritillaria meleagris

F meleagris would appear to be quite fragile as cut, vase life not stated, but F assyriaca seems a little more robust, but not as pretty!

I'd possibly compare with lily-of- the-valley....week at most.

Not a lot of help am I.

I had some last week mwhahahahaahaha

I've still got some (from wed) and they are starting look a bit tired, but I don't know that much about them, so maybe the shop is too cold for them cos they've not even gone a week

Saw them last week and was sorely tempted but I reckon they have a transient beauty......which is a real shame.

Had the snakeshead ones last year and didn't last well at all, also tried the Crown Imperial fritillary and they smelt awful chucked them away without selling any

Love em in the garden..a pain in the butt as a cut flower tho!! You can compare them to sweatpeas (latyrus odor...)-not very long life! We had some as bulbs rosa and when they came up I put the entire flowering bulb into the bq, just wrapped some wet moss around the roots, wired that and lay it over the bq...nice effect and held up for about a week, the bloom shrivels quickly when its warm tho. Maybe a nice idea for grave bqs or funeral work...
(they look really nice tho don't they!)
