Fritillaria meleagris, commonly known as "snake’s head fritillary" or "checkered lily", is an elegant bulbous plant from the lily family (Liliaceae). It is characterized by its delicate bell-shaped flowers, which hang singly at the end of slender stems and feature a distinctive checkered pattern in shades of purple, violet, or even white.

Native to wet meadows and woodland areas of Europe, it blooms in spring and typically reaches a height of 20 to 30 cm. It is ideal for naturalized gardens, flower meadows, and semi-shaded areas with cool, well-drained soils. It is recommended to plant it in areas that receive some partial shade, preferably in moist but well-aerated soils, such as along path edges, under deciduous trees, or in gardens with a more rustic aesthetic.

It is an excellent choice for creating natural-looking environments in gardens that mimic its native habitat. It can also be grown in groups to achieve a visually striking effect, combined with other spring-flowering species.

In addition to its extraordinary beauty, it adds a wild and nostalgic touch to any green space, making it highly valued by botanical garden enthusiasts and bulb collectors.
