Fritillaria verticillata is an Asian plant in the lily family, native to Japan, Korea, Mongolia, Xinjiang, Kazakhstan, and the Altay region of Siberia.[1][2]
Fritillaria verticillata can grow to 60 cm (23.5 in) tall, usually with one flower at the top, but sometimes as many as 5. Leaves are mostly in whorls, with 4-7 leaves per node, each up to 10 cm long but rarely more than 10 mm across. Flowers are nodding, bell-shaped, white or pale yellow, sometimes with purple spots.[2][3][4][5]
It formerly included the Fritillaria verticillata var. thunbergii - now called Fritillaria thunbergii.[1]
