Fritillaria michailovskyi, commonly known as Michael’s Flower or Fritillary, is a deciduous perennial bulb native to the rocky slopes and riverbanks of northeastern Turkey. It typically grows to a height of 10–20 cm (4–8 in) and features narrow, strap-shaped leaves. The plant is particularly noted for its nodding umbels of bell-shaped flowers, which are maroon with yellow tips, appearing in spring. The flowers are quite showy and add a unique charm to garden settings.

Fritillaria michailovskyi is valued for its distinctive, pendent flowers that provide an exotic touch to rock gardens, borders, and woodland settings. It is also suitable for container planting. This species requires very well-drained soil to prevent bulb rot and does not tolerate winter wetness. While it prefers full sun or part shade, it also needs protection from harsh afternoon sun in warmer climates. It is relatively low maintenance but may require protection from slugs and snails, which find the foliage attractive.CC BY-SA 4.0
